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
