From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, there are faces frozen stiff
Against the wind

The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines were so long
You couldn't see to the back
We were making steel
They were made of stone
Now our labor day has come and gone

Yeah, you leave me holding on
In Red Hill town
As the lights go out, I am
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Yeah, I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

The glass is cut
And the bottles run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
But you I can not live without

Oh, 'cause you keep me holding on
In Red Hill town
As the lights go out
I am hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

We scorch the earth
Then we set fire to the sky
We stoop so low, to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a monster to a child
Yeah

I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm alone, I'm alive
A love, slowly stripped away
A love, has seen its better day
A love, slowly stripped away
A love, that's seen its better day

Lights go out on Red Hill
Oh oh oh
The lights go down on Red Hill town
The lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill town
