The cage suddenly jerked from side to side
As the morning chatter quickly began to subside
The elevator dropped suddenly with deep gasps of fear
Screaming and yelling voices was all you could hear
As ferocious winds rushed up against our face
Miner’s lamps flashed wildly in this dark confined space
Our bodies feeling so light, but how could this be
Holding the steel rails tightly with nowhere to flee
Our feet lightly touching the steel metal floor
Dirt walls blurred rushing pass the steel metal doors
Our hearts beating so fast and hard to catch our breaths
As this sudden plummet downward, might be all our deaths
The seconds ticked by slow, yet time seemed to fly
Not a single miner in this cage had said a last good bye
This dark, damp, cold shaft that is 2000 feet deep
My thoughts were “This Time” my life it would keep
As the fear of death, began to take hold
The blood in my veins, seemed to get very cold
My mind began racing as the fear inside me grew
My Heart pounding louder than the cries of this crew
I glanced around quickly and only terror I could see
As I wondered how painful all our deaths will be
As we fell hundreds of feet down deep into the ground
Where our lifeless bodies might later be found
At the bottom of the shaft the muddy water is deep
A watery grave that our souls would forever keep
I truly believed that today would be our end
When suddenly, the Cage jerked hard to a slower descent
My knees bent so hard, I let out a deep sigh of relief
That our families will not suffer any sadness or grief
Today once again death we did not chance to meet
From an unimaginable dropped of several hundred feet
