Steeltown |
| Here I stand with my own kin |
| At the end of everything |
| Finaly the dream is gone |
| I’ve had enough of hanging on |
| I came here with all my friends |
| Leaving behind the weight of years |
| Leaving alone in a flood of tears |
| Out on a prospect that never ends |
| All the landscape was the mill |
| Grim as the reaper with a heart like hell |
| With a river of bodies flowing with the bell |
| Here was the future for hands of skill |
| We built all this with our own hands |
| But who could know we built on sand? |
| Now it’s barren all to soon |
| There is no miracle in ruin |
| We set the flame and it burned so blue |
| With open eyes I watched it grow |
| A sea of palms in an ocean of snow |
| Hands with the courage to start anew |
| Here was a home for the lost and scared |
| Out of the yards and the run dry dock |
| To the call of the steel that would never stop |
| Here was a refuge for those who dared |
| In a steeltown when the heat’s on |
| I went down and the heat turned on me |
| In a steeltown when the heat’s on |
| I went down and the heat turned on me |
| And now I stand with my own kin |
| At the end of everything |
| Finaly the dream is gone |
| Nothing left to hang upon |
