Buried Alive Lyrics by Dropkick Murphys
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Nothing they could do just sit down there
As the black closed all around them
And the water rose so quick and cold
An unlikely place to drown

chorus:
Nine in the mine, trapped down below
Down! Down! Down in the ground
And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye
Take care of the family, I'm buried alive

They held their heads up high
As they struggled hard to breathe
And asked the Lord to open his arms
For the nine souls he'd receive

They lashed themselves together
So in Death all might be found
And prayed there for a miracle
Some twenty-four storeys down
Nothing they could do just sit down there   As the black closed all around them   And the water rose so quick and cold   An unlikely place to drown      chorus:   Nine in the mine, trapped down below   Down! Down! Down in the ground   And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye   Take care of the family, I'm buried alive      They held their heads up high   As they struggled hard to breathe   And asked the Lord to open his arms   For the nine souls he'd receive      They lashed themselves together   So in Death all might be found   And prayed there for a miracle   Some twenty-four storeys down
