SONG DETAILS

Sleeps Without Time

We pulled this lament out of a Silesian shaft, the kind where the air forgets how to move and the walls lean in just to hear your thoughts. Nobody owns it and nobody remembers who sang it first - it simply sat in the dark long enough for the dust to memorize every line. These songs weren’t written; they were survived. Passed between shifts, whispered on ladders, traded at the edge of disasters, carrying the understanding that the mountain always collects its due. Hardware Party doesn’t modernize folklore - we just amplify the pressure already inside it. Drum and bass exposes the bones, the old rhythm meant to be relentless. Consider this a transmission from below: a voice pushed upward through stone and machinery. We didn’t clean it. We didn’t soften it. We only opened the channel and let the shaft speak

Lyrics

The men go down, darker than a grave,

The Holy Mother watches, but she will not save.

The earth groans in the walls, the coal shakes in the leg,

Whoever goes deeper doesn’t come back the same.”

Chorus:

Hey, hey, the black shaft calls,

Hey, hey, louder than the world.

Whoever descends leaves something behind,

And the mountain takes whatever it wants.

“I hear the ghosts of old crews in the chambers,

Warning in whispers, dragging along the rails.

When the whistle screams — the fate is sealed,

For whoever stayed below sleeps without time.”

Chorus:

Hey, hey, the black shaft calls…

This isn’t a song about working underground. It’s about what stays down there when the shift ends. The mountain doesn’t just take coal. It takes names, voices, even time. We just gave it a beat to crawl back up through.
