[Intro] / ambient dripping water, rigid synthetic bassline fades in / female French whisper, heavy tape delay Soixante mètres... l'obscurité totale... (Sixty meters... total darkness...) [Verse 1] / harsh male baritone, dry 16th bassline The jaws of the mine tearing open the night Where the rock stands in silence and swallows the light Sixty meters below in the freezing black clay Hanging on to the ropes as they're swaying away A charge of the powder from nineteen-o-three Blowing up in the depths where nobody can see Soaked to the bone in the dark and the dread The fire went wild and it left them for dead [Pre-Chorus] #heavy metal kick slam Pumping the water and turning the stone! Two fifty a shift for the muscle and bone! The mountain was hit and the mountain declined! Left in the black in the depths of the mind! [Chorus] / aggressive male shout, full EBM sequence Sixty meters down in the crushing dark cold! Climbing on the ropes with a desperate hold! #metal stomp #crescendo Deepest cut! Into the stone! Leaving the daylight, breaking the bone! Setting the charge in the belly of the beast! Awake the mountain, prepare for the feast! [Post-Chorus] / cold female vocal, distant reverb, minimal beat La pierre ne pardonne pas... (The stone does not forgive...) #industrial strike The alarm comes too late. [Verse 2] / harsh male baritone, tight sequence A rusted old bucket, a stone-studded floor The silence has fallen, the shift is no more The spark in the dark and a deafening roar Closing the passage and locking the door Just the paper remains and a memory pale Of the men in the mountain, a forgotten tale [Outro] / beat slows down, heavy kick fades / female French whisper Cent neuf cent trois... le silence éternel... (Nineteen-o-three... eternal silence...) #distant metal clang
