Lyrics
(Verse 1)
We're the miners of Sudbury, in the underground we roam
In the "Nickel City's" depths, we make this place our home
Diggin' for that nickel, where the shadows mark the scene
But it ain't all shining silver, it's hard work and it's mean
Every shift's a battle, 'gainst the dust we breathe in deep
Risking life and limb, while the company just counts its heaps
Our fathers fought before us, in these veins of ore
For the rights we now defend, and the wages we ensure
But the company, they're always schemin', tryna cut us to the bone
Erasing all we've built, but we'll never stand alone
(Chorus)
We won't back down, we won't retreat
For our children's future, we'll take to the street
Against the odds, we'll never fall
United as one, we'll stand tall
(Verse 2)
They throw threats and lies, but we're steady in our stride
Demanding fair pay and safety, it's a battle fought with pride
From cave-ins to toxic air, dangers lurk around each bend
But we're Sudbury's miners, we'll endure until the end
Through Sudbury's veins, we carve our way
In the darkness and the light, we'll have our say
(Chorus)
We won't back down, we won't retreat
For our children's future, we'll take to the street
Against the odds, we'll never fall
United as one, we'll stand tall
(Bridge)
From the mine to the halls of greed
We fight for justice, for all in need
Our ancestors' struggles, they won't be in vain
We carry their torch through the pouring rain
(Chorus)
We won't back down, we won't retreat
For our children's future, we'll take to the street
Against the odds, we'll never fall
United as one, we'll stand tall
(Outro)
Hear our voices loud and clear
The miners of Sudbury, we're always here
We'll keep on fighting, till the end
For the rights of workers, we will defend!
