lyrics

The rhythm of the hammer is the meter of life
The glow of the metal and the trace of a spark
The flames in the furnace the joy in my veins
But the fire in my heart is you

The snow outside is falling
A shroud of silence on barren fields
There’s no birds in the air with the threat of a storm
But the sweat of the work is keeping me warm
And the thought of you is life

Always you

Oh those lazy nights I spend them with you
Heat of the forge becomes the warmth of the hearth
Drifting in the silence, you make it so easy
To escape from the drive of the flames
Remember what the hours are for

The air is tense with rumours and fear
So I’m melting down my work
I’m beating ploughshares to swords and shears into spears
As if metal could stave off hate and despair
Let the weak say I am strong
I’ll be strong for you

Always you
