Lyrics[edit | edit source]

NOTE: Lyrics are largely guesswork.

solider of the fortune
the bayonets arise
time we must, for your nation's bids farewell

pal, wouldn't want you
yes pal, wouldn't let you roam
home so ever green as Kentucky folds

[first chorus – skipped in some shows]
it's never more than easy
it's deeper than the grave
ditch by ditch, my shadow follows grave
black lung
black lung

divider of rehearsed stone
[?] vein
despite my spite, our family's name, disowned

gaze above before you
the satan won't let you go
home, so ever free, as his own

it's never more than easy
it's deeper than the grave
ditch by ditch, my shadow follows grave
black lung
black lung
black lung
black lung
