lirik lagu van wagner – molly maguires
[verse 1]
i’ve struggled with the mollies
all of my life
how much is wrong
how much is right?
it’s hard to separate
the fact from the myth
but the legend remains
and the legacy lives
[verse 2]
near the house that i was born to
a glass window pane
words of the murder of alexander ray
when i’ve asked of this name
and his ties to my town
i’m told that the mollies
gunned the man down
[chorus]
oh, the molly maguires
i’m reaching for scr~ps of the truth
oh, the fire
it’s burning underground in our coal region roots
[verse 3]
i’ve rеad every book
i can get my hands on
i’vе talked with descendants
of those convicted and hung
but i’ve also met
the families of the slain
i’ve come to see that both
were just p~wns in a game
[verse 4]
greed came to these mountains
and pitted man against man
got both sides pointing fingers
and made it us versus them
at the root of it all was money and greed
the poor paid the price
while it brought them to their knees
[chorus]
oh, the molly maguires
i’m reaching for scr~ps of the truth
oh, the fire
it’s burning underground in our coal region roots
[verse 5]
now, don’t think me biased
for having welsh blood
for i’ve worked in the mines
and i’ve been under a thumb
i’ve seen corruption of wealth and rich
you know which side you’re on
when you swing that coal pick
[bridge]
so where does that leave us
with this bundle of smoke?
trying to make sense of it
we want the door closed
it’s woven in our fabric
the thread runs dark
like a pocket of methane
it only took a spark
[chorus]
oh, the molly maguires
i’m reaching for scr~ps of the truth
oh, the fire
it’s burning underground in our coal region roots
