Lyrics
Sparks on the concrete, steam in the air Clock in at six with a coffee and a prayer Hands like hammers, back like a beam Nobody sees what the night shift means The furnace is roaring, the whistle is blown We are the ones who keep the lights on Fire in the marrow Iron in the bone Forged in the foundry light We rise up in the night Steel in our hearts and a fist in the air We were born to burn, we were born to dare Forged in the foundry light We will never fall tonight Hammer it down, let the thunder roll Iron in the body and fire in the soul Rust on the rooftops, snow on the sill They closed down the mill but we're standing still Songs in the garage where the heavy riffs grow Grease on our knuckles and a furious glow Every scar is a story we wear Every spark is a flag in the air Fire in the marrow Iron in the bone Forged in the foundry light We rise up in the night Steel in our hearts and a fist in the air We were born to burn, we were born to dare Forged in the foundry light We will never fall tonight Hammer it down, let the thunder roll Iron in the body and fire in the soul Raise it up, raise it high Let the molten banner fly Raise it up, raise it high We will never say goodbye Forged in the foundry light We rise up in the night Steel in our hearts and a fist in the air We were born to burn, we were born to dare Forged in the foundry light We will never fall tonight Hammer it down, let the thunder roll Iron in the body and fire in the soul Iron, iron, in the bone Forged, forged, never alone
