lyrics

Bullets flying, children crying
Tearing through the canvas marking up the earth
Women screaming, men are bleeding
Echo through the canyons exposing the outburst
Fire reigns down upon the dusty plains below the hills
More troops arrive to fight from Aguilar to Rameyville

10 hours straight, we sit and wait
For the hail storm to subside
Down in the well, trapped in this hell
Silently counting the moments till we're dead by yer side

News is spreading, grabbing headlines
Battle on the field of the Ludlow mines
Ammo depleting, strikers retreating
Abandoning posts at the front of the line
The orders given, drive the people out and burn the village
The Guard becomes a mod, they terrorize and start to pillage

A train comes riding down the tracks
Creating lulls in the attacks
Families disperse while out of sight
The flames dance long into the night

The fires swell as they reach for the sky
And burn all night long before they start to subside
Poor Mary wakes from her nightmarish sleep
Delirious, thirsty and weak at the knees
She stumbles drunkenly out of the debris
Looking for comfort amongst refugees
A woman asks of the fate of her children
Surely they've passed for I tried but can't stir them

Beyond the Black Hills a group of men gather their guns
And plan to repay them with blood
