In a mining town in West Virginia In the year of 1910 The boys cut at the heart of the mountain They been cuttin' since God knows when But today's just a little bit different Something down there's out of control Somebody yells... Fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', there's a fire in the hole And the word spread through the mountain The heads turn and children cry Black smoke porin' out of eleven Take over the coal town sky And the company men are runnin' And the screams they make your blood run cold They run so cold... Fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', there's a fire in the hole In a mining town of West Virginia In the year of 1910 Eighty-seven men went down Now nobody comin' back again And today just ain't that different Down in the darkness it's your soul And somebody yellin'... Fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', there's a fire in the hole Someone yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire) Somebody yellin', there's a fire in the hole There's a fire in the hole Fire in the hole There's a fire in the hole Fire in the hole There's a fire in the hole Fire in the hole There's a fire in the hole Fire in the hole
