Dream Theater - Red Hill Mining Town lyrics

From father to son, the blood runs thin
I see faces frozen still against the wind

The seam is split, coal face cracked
The lines are long, there's no going back
Through hands of steel and hearts of stone
Our labor day has come and gone

Yeah, you leave me holding on
In Red Hill Town see lights go down
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting i'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Glass is cut, bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold in the
Caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt
I can lose myself but I can't live without

Yeah, you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town see the lights go down
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting hanging on
All that's left to hold on to

We scorch the earth, set fire to the sky
We stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost, chain undone
We wait all day for night to come

And it comes like a hunted child
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting i'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

Love slowly stripped away
Love has seen a better day hanging on
Lights go out on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill Town

Lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill Town
Lights go down on Red Hill
