[Em]
[E]
My fire extinct, my forge decayed By the side of my bench, my old vines is
laid My ambel and hammer lie gathering dust
My powerful bellows have lost their thrust [C] Hearts now cased [E] in steam
To [Em] a blacksmith's prayer [E] 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 [Em] spent Hearts now cased in steam
To a [C] blacksmith's prayer I will [E] kneel
My soul swept in steam, it came trickling down My labor's love, now resting [B] aground
[E] Sharp nails and chains, spikes, rings and blades They all [Em] reside, no girl can remain
Hearts now cased in steam To a blacksmith's prayer I will kneel
