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 a future for hands of skill
We built it all with our own hands
But who could know we built on sand
But now it's barren all to soon
There's 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 dry docks
The call of the steel that would never stop
There was a refuge for those who dared
In a steeltown
When the heat's on
I went down
And the heat turned on me (x2)
Here I stand with my own kin
At the end of everything
Finaly the dream has gone
I've had enough of hanging on
In a steeltown
When the heat's on
I went down
And the heat turned on me (x2)
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 a future for hands of skill We built it all with our own hands But who could know we built on sand But now it's barren all to soon There's 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 dry docks The call of the steel that would never stop There was a refuge for those who dared In a steeltown When the heat's on I went down And the heat turned on me (x2) Here I stand with my own kin At the end of everything Finaly the dream has gone I've had enough of hanging on In a steeltown When the heat's on I went down And the heat turned on me (x2) Explain Request ×
