No Escape

A miner, with a face as black as coal, A father, Mary’s husband, with a single goal, He toils in the mines, working hard, Bringing bread for his children, his only regard. A flame spread, engulfing all, A deafening roar, a call of downfall, No escape, the end was near, His fate sealed by an explosive cheer. Down below, in darkness deep, A room lit by lanterns’ sweep, Mary brings joy to her children’s faces, Spreading happiness in the night’s embraces. A flame spread, engulfing all, A deafening roar, a call of downfall, No escape, the end was near, His fate sealed by an explosive cheer. Soon he would forget it all, Returning home with dollars small, Mary’s joy and the children’s smiles, Leaving troubles behind, out of sight for miles. A flame spread, engulfing all, A deafening roar, a call of downfall, No escape, the end was near, His fate sealed by an explosive cheer. A flame spread, engulfing all, A deafening roar, a call of downfall, No escape, the end was near, His fate sealed by an explosive cheer. Mary weeps, with her children near, The town mourns, their sorrow clear, No one could change what’s been done, Despite their wishes, no one could save anyone. A flame spread, engulfing all, A deafening roar, a call of downfall, No escape, the end was near, His fate sealed by an explosive cheer.
