[Intro]
(bagpipes, distant thunder)
Breath rattles in, fuck it, I’m ready
Dust grinding between my teeth, steel at my neck
[Verse 1]
Grey sheets overhead, torn, and I’m digging in dirt
Fists coated, bone-aching, at dawn I lurk
Shovels and boots make the bastard earth bleed
Yeah, I bite back—don’t care what I need
I barely blink, fuck the pain, I’m numb when I start
Echoes in corridors, hunger carves up my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Clang and thump—someone’s counting the dead
I know I’m just a number, I mumble, instead
[Chorus]
These quarry dogs scream in the pit
Bleeding knuckles find no quit
Run my name through gravel and spit
Fuck you all – I’m owning this shit
Echoes ring (in my head) with every hit
[Verse 2]
Chains bite at my back, all bark no bite?
I’ve snapped worse fuckers than you outta spite
The boss yells, veins about to burst, but I grin,
‘Cause one day I’ll drag him right down with me in
We trade insults, blows, sound of stone cracking
I steal what’s left, dignity, a little satisfaction
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear the drums echoing out back?
Victory’s just mud and a loud, loud crack
[Chorus]
These quarry dogs scream in the pit
Bleeding knuckles find no quit
Run my name through gravel and spit
Fuck you all – I’m owning this shit
Echoes ring (in my head) with every hit
[Bridge]
(Whispered) Dirt in my veins, iron in my spit
I drag myself up by bones, never quit
Bagpipes wail and I rise, a howl in my throat
Hell—if this is living, I’ll never fucking float
[Chorus]
These quarry dogs scream in the pit
Bleeding knuckles find no quit
Run my name through gravel and spit
Fuck you all – I’m owning this shit
Echoes ring (in my head) with every hit
