lyrics

Bodies lay lifeless, alongside the train tracks
With more in the ruins where Ludlow stood
Now telegrams make their way out of state
A mass call to arms with intent to retaliate
These bloody crimes will not go unanswered
We aim to bring them the wrath they deserve
A bullet named for every life taken
Tear through the hillsides burning the mines to the ground
As they fall we will dance to the sound

Striking miners arrive from every surrounding town
Finding strength in our numbers we'll tear this whole structure down

You said you'd fight to protect yer business
You'd go to war to preserve yer assets
For 10 days, we owned this land
From north Louisberg down to Trinidad
Crying for help, from President Wilson
Before it spreads to the great Denver Basin
Federal troops are boarding the train
A desperate last effort to protect the mines that remain
From the fate that the others have faced

60 lives sacrificed, and just for the strike to break
A century later and still we are forced to beg
