Lyrics Hand of Man - Duke Special

Hand of Man

I came from the east, was a pilgrim son
Changed that faith for another one
When you’ve mouths to feed you do what you can
So I sold my soul to the railway man
All hail the hand of man
Gonna build whatever we can
Gonna make us a holy land
All hail the hand of man
Spread out west with fingers of steel
Hammers, picks, sparks from the wheels
We raised up temples as fast as we could
There is no evil and there is no good
All hail the hand of man
Gonna build whatever we can
Gonna make us a holy land
All hail the hand of man
Go to sleep, forget your dreams
We need need you bones for our machines
Scrape the sky until we choke
Pan for gold until we are broke
We could forge a world that’s brave and new
You’ll take from me and I’ll take from you
All hail the hand of man
Gonna build whatever we can
Gonna make us a holy land
All hail the hand of man
All hail the hand of man
Each of us at your command
Not for us to understand
All hail the hand of man
