Lyrics

The Alarm
 Miscellaneous
 New South Wales
 Pit shaft wheels turn for the last time
 In the Rhondda tonight
 The Davey lamps that shone so brightly
 There's no more need for their light
 As the last piece of coal is cut
 From the belly of the black seamed hole
 A man walks home alone
 Past a church full of mourning souls
 Throughout his lifetime he has fought
 He has given his life
 In tears the congregation sing
 Cwm Rhondda Oh my Lord
 Great is the rape of the fair country
 To Botany Bay for my Great Grandfathers
 Deportation sailed
 Great so great is the fair country
 GREAT IS THE NEED FOR A NEW SOUTH WALES
 The slag heap stares
 It blocks out the sky
 It kees this Rhondda grey
 The stale beer spills from angry drinkers
 Their arguments do the same
 A choir voice cries it shatters the silence
 Where's the future in this place
 The question hangs unanswered
 All eyes on a new born babe
 In another lifetime men fought hard
 Men gave their lives
 For the charter that would save their sons
 Cwm Rhondda Oh my Lord
 Great, great change in the fair country
 The future lies with the sons and daughters
 South will meet with North
 Say, say a prayer for the fair country
 GREAT IS THE NEED FOR A NEW SOUTH WALES
 Throughout a lifetime men have fought
 Men have given their lives
 To hear the congregation sing
 CWM RHONDDA OH MY LORD
 Great, great change in the fair country
 The future lies with the sons and daughters
 South will meet with North
 Say, say a prayer for the fair country
 GREAT IS THE NEED FOR A NEW SOUTH WALES
 Someone hear my prayer
 Someone hear my prayer
 Someone hear my prayer
 Someone hear my prayer
 Someone hear my prayer
 Someone hear my prayer
 Someone hear my prayer
 For A NEW SOUTH WALES
