Coal (from the Old English term col, which has meant "mineral of fossilized carbon" since the 13th century) is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. The harder forms, such as anthracite coal, can be regarded as metamorphic rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure. Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Throughout history, coal has been a useful resource. It is primarily burned for the production of electricity and/or heat, and is also used for industrial purposes such as refining metals. A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter is converted into peat, which in turn is converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, then bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite. This involves biological and geological processes that take place over a long period of time.
Coal is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest worldwide anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide releases. Gross carbon dioxide emissions from coal usage are slightly more than those from petroleum and about double the amount from natural gas. Coal is extracted from the ground by mining, either underground by shaft mining through the seams or in open pits.
Coal Chamber is an American alternative metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1993. Prior to Coal Chamber, Dez Fafara and Meegs Rascón formed the band She's In Pain in 1992. The two decided to create Coal Chamber. They disbanded in 2003 after ten years together, but announced a reunion in September 2011. Their first drummer, John Thor, was eventually replaced by Mike Cox (who beat out his older brother for the spot). After bass guitarist Rayna Foss joined, the Coal Chamber lineup was complete.
In 1997, their first album, Coal Chamber, was released. They toured very heavily supporting this album. The album produced one single and a video, "Loco". The video was also added as an extra after the ending credits of Dee Snider's film, Strangeland. The band also recorded an exclusive song for the soundtrack, titled "Not Living".
Chamber Music followed two years later. Between the two releases and after the band's tour with the metal act Sevendust, bass guitarist Rayna Foss married Sevendust's drummer Morgan Rose and became pregnant, necessitating another bass guitar player on tour, a role filled by Nadja Peulen.
Lee Dorsey (December 24, 1924 – December 2, 1986) was an African American pop/R&B singer during the 1960s. Much of his work was produced by Allen Toussaint with instrumental backing provided by the Meters.
Born Irving Lee Dorsey in New Orleans, Louisiana, Dorsey moved to Portland, Oregon when he was ten years old. He served in the United States Navy and began a career in prizefighting. Boxing as a light heavyweight in Portland in the early 1950s, he fought under the name "Kid Chocolate" and was quite successful.
Dorsey met songwriter/producer Allen Toussaint at a party in the early 1960s, and was signed to the Fury record label. The song that launched his career was inspired by a group of children chanting nursery rhymes - "Ya Ya" went to number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. He recorded other songs for Fury before the label folded, and Dorsey went back to his car repair business.
Toussaint later came back on the Amy label and began to work with Dorsey once again. From 1965 to 1969 Dorsey put seven songs in the Hot 100, the most successful of which was "Working in the Coal Mine" in 1966. It was to be his second and last Top Ten song. In 1970 Dorsey and Toussaint collaborated on an album entitled Yes We Can; the title song was Dorsey's last entry in the singles chart. It was later a hit for the Pointer Sisters under the title, "Yes We Can Can".
If I trust myself, and in my strength
I'll be in the desert with nothing to drink
I'll live in the wilderness, so far and so alone
And I won't help myself, so hot and yet so cold
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
If my heart departs and I turn away
Then I will be cursed from the absence of my faith
Lord without your help I'm drowning in the sea
And I won't help myself, I can't move and I can't breathe
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
My soul simply wont bleed
Coal blackened walls surround my scene
Hardened, callous ive been stung by bees
Forfeited courage keeps me in need
And i need your soul in black, trust you rape and left me to see
My soul attacked it's innocence deaf and dumb
I cant hear the shit been preached to me
Losses i cound, you rip through from my mind
And take my thoughts from me
My mind, my space inside im lost replaced bliss with catastrophy
Heaven sends to you the seed my mind recieves and accepts deceit
My acceptence sometimes disturbing
My appearence shows no sympathy
Me in this state of mind my balance off balance but i push through this dark
Time i lay awake at night my body trembles
Wrapped with vines
Each tie that binds represents another
Dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life
I know that there is no esacape for me
This sweating i dont mind
Just fused with insanity
Dark time i lay awake at night my body trembles
Wrapped with vines
Each tie that binds represents another
Dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life
...in my life
My soul has been caught in the mix of your plague
Hardened, callous ive been stung by bees
Forfeited courage keeps me in need
My soul has been caught in the mix of your plague
Oh, the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
My daddy said "don't ever be a miner",
For a mines grave is all
I'll ever own
There's hard times everywhere
I can't find a dime to spare
These are the worst times I've ever known
But the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
So I'll move away into some crowded city.
In some northern factory town you'll find me there
Though I'll leave the past behind
I'll never change my mind
These troubled times are more than I can bear
But, the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
[Instrumental]
Someday, I'll go back to West Virginia
To those green, rolling hills I love so well
Oh, someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong
These hard times will follow me no more
Oh, the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
[Instrumental]
Who'd of ever thought to
call that coal?
If my hands were warm then I might
I don't know
I keep panning
and in my reach it
Hangs on
Water falls down
There's no gold in this barren town
"Used to be a man could make his way
with a barrel full of this black coal"
half certain you'd say
but in my reach it
Hangs on
Water falls down
There's no gold in this barren town.
Look at every angle
and draw a square
find some nut you can instead untighten
Watch me in the corner
with a pair
under certain pressure
ace, a diamond
So run your fingers down my back
you'd make such a cool distraction
cause in my reach it
Hangs on
yeah, the walls down
but there's no gold
there's a line drawn and crossed
by the banks.
By the way
water falls down
there's no gold in this barren town.
COAL
The pillars of the world were shaking like the legs of a drunk
Hot winds ripped the hats off all the ladies all about town that day
Then they caught us ran us ragged beat us bloody put us in a dirty cage
Now we’re screaming bloody murder we are starving won’t see the ocean side again
Continents and mountain ranges boats out in the harbor,
rivers clouds and cities all aflame
the sun went out the sky went red the horses our dancing in their skins
the taste of ash and sulfur on our lips
Where is my boy, where is my son. I seem to have lost him in the crowd,
he was holding to my hand just a moment ago
I know he cannot find his way he is so small he is so lean he looks like
a scrap of paper on a branch
I am flesh and you are pale, I am sleeping you are dead,
we’re all playing cards as the ship goes down
We’re living as if we are not, hanging from a precipice,
shuddering and lurching off the edge
But someday this will all be gone, as fast a match can be struck,
take warning for the veil is very thin
The signs aren’t difficult to read: we tread so heavy on the ground
and one day the ground it may give way.
I see you gilded gentlemen, I wish I’d set a torch to you while I still
had the freedom of my legs. I do not trust you with my life,
I do not trust you with my past I do not trust your hands upon the world.
But now I’m sunken in the ground, all my strength to move is gone and
screaming is the last recourse that I have, you’ve left us with a barren
earth, we know we are the aching land,
I stared into the eyes
of the deep black coal
and I knew that it knew
what I did know I knew
My mother she was a whore
she was lost before I was born
My father I barely knew when he took me by the hand and told me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
then he kicked away the chair
Black blue bruises on my hips
something smeared beneath my lips
a blister on my knee
and a ringing in my ears tells me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
their not coming back for you
hold on, hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I've got coal inside my pocket
Hold on
I've got coal inside my bed
Hold on
I've got coal inside my home
Hold on
I've got coal inside my head
You don't have to lie about where you've been.
We both know you've been schemin'.
So why don't you give your little voice a rest,
climb on up inside my bed, and just pretend you need me?
You don't have to lie about what you know.
We both know that I've been sufferin'.
And I don't need to be your only one,
and I don't need your comfortin',
I just need you with me.
(chorus)(Stay, Stay, Stay with me.
Stay, stay with me.
Stay, and don't you ever run away from me.)
Oh, and if she ever let's you down,
after she has run out of your money?
Well then just crawl on back to me, I'm the one that
sets you free, and I'm the one that needs you.
And if she ever let's you go,
we both know what you'll be needin'.
And if you need somewhere to rest,
somewhere to lay your
head, you'll know where to find me.
(chorus)
And if you need somewhere to rest,
somewhere to lay your head, you know where to find me.
Stay with me!
(this part repeats several times)
I can't live another day,
I won't live another day without you baby!
Stay with me!
Turn down the headlights. Empty the ashtrays.
Sweep out of the airway, what's left of our time.
Oh, you can use my body to
