Blacksmith's Prayer |
| My fire extinct |
| My forge decayed |
| By the side of my bench |
| My old vice is laid |
| My anvil and hammer |
| Lie gathering dust |
| My powerful bellows |
| Have lost their thrust |
| Hearts now cased in steel |
| To a blacksmith’s prayer I will kneel |
| Those burning sparks |
| They scorched the dirt |
| They lit the sky |
| And fell to the earth |
| I smelt and forged |
| Fused and bent |
| I dug the core |
| Now my years are spent |
| Hearts now cased in steel |
| To a blacksmith’s prayer I will kneel |
| Salt, sweat and steam |
| It came trickling down |
| My labour’s love |
| Now rest in the ground |
| Sharp nails and chained |
| Spike, rings and blades |
| They all reside |
| In a world handmade |
| Hearts now cased in steel |
| To a blacksmith’s prayer I will kneel |
| So hard it was to rest it on the ground |
| So hard it was to sleep without a sound |
| So hard without the smoke |
| Those fingers around my throat |
| So hard it was to lay my body down |
| So hard without the smoke |
| Those fingers around my throat |
| So hard it was to lay my body down |
| My fire extinct |
| My forge decayed |
| By the side of my bed |
| These words are laid |
| Burnt brittle hands |
| Lie gathering dust |
| My pounding soul has lost its thrust |
| Hearts now cased in steel |
| To a blacksmith’s prayer I will kneel |
