SILENT STANDS

 

Silent stands

The winding gear

The pithead sealed

Five and twenty year

 

Miners no longer toil

With honest dignity

Coal now comes

On boats across the sea

 

Silent stands

The eerie monument

To stubborn arrogance

And bad judgement

 

Rust abounds

As far as you can see

The mining gone for good

That’s Scargill’s legacy
