The Shaft
George Canyon


Can you smell that McDonald, it don?t smell so well, for the one in the cage, tipped over and fell
If we live to see sunlight, we?ll be able to tell, of the terror below, and the place we call hell


[Chorus]
It?s a shot now for feed us and a shot that will kill, our brothers and fathers who died on their will The fishing is slow and theirs work to be done, so I?ll put on my hat and go underground


Now I fear for my children, I fear for my wife, and if I don?t make it back now I?ve had a good life There?s a cave in behind us, only one-way to go; now I?m leaving the shaft so far below


[Chorus]
It?s a shot now for feed us and a shot that will kill, our brothers and fathers who died on their will The fishing is slow and Theres work to be done, so I?ll put on my hat and go underground


[Bridge]
What do you say to a family of one, that won?t come back up with the rest, it better to let them just Mourn by themselves; just tell them he was one of the best

[Solo]

There?s a flash above heaven, it?s fire it?s light, in Donald I see them the drives in site
A few hours later, we?re smelling sweet air, to honor our children, the stories we?ll share


[Chorus]
It?s a shot now for feed us and a shot that will kill, are brothers and fathers who died by their will The fishing is slow and Theres work to be done, so I?ll put on my hat and go underground
So I?ll put on my hat and go underground
