[Verse] Sheppton streets Cracked and bare A shadow moves in the coal-dust air Bee bee bawchu He screams through the night Kids scatter like sparrows in the fading light [Prechorus] Old man dancing in the mine’s cold breath Voices of the past Whispers of death [Chorus] Bee bee bawchu Bee bo Me m/ow/ Who are you Who are you now? Phantom of the pit Preacher of the dark Your cries like thunder Your eyes a spark [Verse 2] Down below where the black veins run They saw the saints They saw the Son Old man’s words They rattle the bone “Do you hear the hymns? Do you hear the groan?” [Prechorus] He’s a prophet Or he’s mad as the night A relic of coal and a fading light [Chorus] Bee bee bawchu Bee bo Me m/ow/ Who are you Who are you now? Phantom of the pit Preacher of the dark Your cries like thunder Your eyes a spark
