lyrics

This is the story of our lives, a tale as old as time
Passed down through generations

We work our fingers to the bone
This life is all we have and all we’ve ever known

In the shadow of these titans, left to gather dust
Stainless steel leviathans, consumed by rot and rust

From dawn to dusk we spend our days
Working our bodies to an early grave

Sing a song of breaking, words of fire and unmaking
Swing the hammer, wield the axe
Ruined lives, reduced to worthless scrap

This is not the life we wanted, this is not what we were promised

These shattered skeletons of steel, whose broken ribs now pierce the sky
Their metal skin, worn thin, by distance and by time

We work our fingers to the bone
This life is all we have and all we’ve known

Raise your hammers higher, sing with every strike
Make your way down to the water, as the dawn begins to break

Life is short and death is cheap
In the shadow of these giants
Laid to rest upon the beach

Mired in the mud, and grounded on the sand
Paid for with our blood, and broken by our hands

The more things change, the more they stay the same

In the belly of these behemoths, we spend our days
Picking the bones of forgotten gods, rusting silent in their graves

Raise your hammers higher, sing with every strike
Make your way down to the water, as the dawn begins to break
