Intro
Verse 1
Leather boots on the catwalk, lunch pail in my hand,
Decades of sweat and iron, etched in the grain of the land.
Father's shadow lingers, in the flicker of the light,
We forged a legacy here, in the heart of the night.
Pre Chorus
Grit under my nails, and the fire in my veins,
Sparks in the dark, and the weight of the chains.
But I stand on this steel, with my head held high,
No man's gonna break me, no tear in my eye.
Chorus
We built this with our hands,
We carved out our demands.
In the heat of the furnace, we stood tall,
We built this with our hands.
Verse 2
Voices of the mill, in the clang and the roar,
Echoes of the fathers, who came here before.
Rivets and the welds, in the belly of the beast,
We gave it all we had, never took the least.
Pre Chorus
Grit under my nails, and the fire in my veins,
Sparks in the dark, and the weight of the chains.
But I stand on this steel, with my heart in my chest,
No man's gonna take this, it's a lifetime's quest.
Chorus
We built this with our hands,
We carved out our demands.
In the heat of the furnace, we stood tall,
We built this with our hands.
Chorus
We built this with our hands,
We carved out our demands.
In the heat of the furnace, we stood tall,
We built this with our hands.
Outro
In the heart of the mill, where our blood and sweat spilled,
We built this with our hands.
