Lyrics
[Verse]
The sun slips down behind the jagged hills of blocky gray
We grab our iron picks and wash the mountain dust away
I hear the gravel crunch beneath your heavy leather boots
Deep inside the hollow ground we’re tearing up the roots
The torchlight flickers dim against the damp and heavy air
Looking for the glimmer while the silence starts to glare
[Verse]
We hammered out a cabin from the dark and sturdy oak
The chimney’s spitting embers and a trail of charcoal smoke
You laid the stone foundation while I fenced the cattle in
Talking bout the old days and the places that we’ve been
There’s a comfort in the labor and the dirt beneath the nail
Building up a kingdom on a lonesome dusty trail
[Chorus]
Dig it deep and stack it high against the coming night
Hold the line together boys and ready for the fight
When the moon is rising cold and the shadows start to crawl
We’re standing shoulder to shoulder by the fortress wall
Raising hell and fire when the wooden splinters fly
Underneath the pixels of a vast and lonely sky
[Verse]
The groan comes from the darkness just beyond the torch’s glow
A rotting army marching from the valley down below
They’re scratching at the threshold and they’re beating on the pine
But they ain't breaking through this rugged brotherhood of mine
Pass the golden apples and the bows of ancient string
Let the hollow valley hear the heavy metal ring
[Verse]
I’ll cover your perimeter you watch the cellar door
We’ve spilled a river of that spiteful blood upon the floor
It’s a grit and grind survival in a world of sharp design
Mapping out the secrets of a deep and jagged mine
The dobro’s wailing lonesome like a wind through open caves
While we’re out here digging out a thousand hollow graves
[Chorus]
Dig it deep and stack it high against the coming night
Hold the line together boys and ready for the fight
When the moon is rising cold and the shadows start to crawl
We’re standing shoulder to shoulder by the fortress wall
Raising hell and fire when the wooden splinters fly
Underneath the pixels of a vast and lonely sky
[Bridge]
They can tear the porch apart and kick the windows in
But they can’t break the spirit of the kin beneath the skin
It’s more than just the cobblestone and more than just the lead
It’s the way we stand defiant till the morning light is spread
Yeah we’re grounded in the bedrock and we’re hardened in the flame
In a land without a map and a wild without a name
[Chorus]
Dig it deep and stack it high against the coming night
Hold the line together boys and ready for the fight
When the moon is rising cold and the shadows start to crawl
We’re standing shoulder to shoulder by the fortress wall
Raising hell and fire when the wooden splinters fly
Underneath the pixels of a vast and lonely sky
[Chorus]
Dig it deep and stack it high against the coming night
Hold the line together boys and ready for the fight
When the moon is rising cold and the shadows start to crawl
We’re standing shoulder to shoulder by the fortress wall
Raising hell and fire when the wooden splinters fly
Underneath the pixels of a vast and lonely sky
