[Verse 1]
Boots in the gravel
Beards full of stone dust
Laugh lines
Lamp light
Eyes hard as rust
Helmets all crooked
Belts hanging low
We don’t count hours
We count how deep we go
[Chorus]
Clang
Clang
Swing it in time
Macho hearts in the belly of the mine (hey!)
Three steps forward
Turn on a dime
It’s a pickaxe parade in a mountain shrine
Stomp
Stomp
Shoulders in line
Sing that swaggering dwarf design (ho!)
Clang
Clang
Echo and shine
We waltz to the sound of the mining
[Verse 2]
Mugs on the table
Chips in the old wood
We dance with our shadows
‘Cause they’re the ones who understood
Gold in our grinning
Stone in our veins
If the roof starts shaking
We just shout and stamp again
[Chorus]
Clang
Clang
Swing it in time
Macho hearts in the belly of the mine (hey!)
Three steps forward
Turn on a dime
It’s a pickaxe parade in a mountain shrine
Stomp
Stomp
Shoulders in line
Sing that swaggering dwarf design (ho!)
Clang
Clang
Echo and shine
We waltz to the sound of the mining
[Bridge]
Raise that mug
Let the dust just fall
If the world wants quiet
They won’t find it in this hall (ha!)
Brothers in gravel
Sisters in ore
When the whistle’s blowing
We just shout for more
[Chorus]
Clang
Clang
Swing it in time
Macho hearts in the belly of the mine (hey!)
Three steps forward
Turn on a dime
It’s a pickaxe parade in a mountain shrine
Stomp
Stomp
Shoulders in line
Sing that swaggering dwarf design (ho!)
Clang
Clang
Echo and shine
We waltz to the sound of the mining
