Lyrics for Abernant 1984/5
The wind and the rain bear on his fair head As he stood in the darkness wishing he was dead Only seventeen when he went down the mine And it's a year that he's been out on the line Bitter tears rolled down his cheek He couldn't stand to hear talk of defeat Despair in a terraced house and ghosts from the past The living death they'd fought is here at last The weeds choke and the rust corrodes You'd think it'd have been fifty years Since the place was closed Vengeance is not ours it belongs to those Who seek to destroy us How much more is there left to lose?
