Naktigonis - Blackdamp Ballad (Deepwoken OST)

"Dust smogging the air; the tunnels ahead forking out; flickering lights and shadow-movement. The walls of the tunnels are inscribed with gouged patterns: spirals, cross-hatchings. They look like the cuts of a creature trying to claw its way out of a trap, or the ritual petroglyphs of a tribe.

[...]

The lizard-machine feeds at the face, the conveyor belt continues to trundle ore towards the hopper, and I am struck by a sense of the creatureliness of the mining operation: the avid clawing at the rock, the tunnel network that has been created. I remember cross-sections I have seen of the interiors of termite mounds and ants' nests, rabbit warrens and mole runs. Neil's map of the mine, with its hundreds of miles of intersecting drift, is just the plan of another animal's burrow-complex, bored out in search of resources."

( - Robert Macfarlane, 'Underland')
