Steel

Sometimes these tired old streets can feel strange

I watch the tumbleweed now, where I used to play

What I felt way back then was called 'change'

Just like a thundercloud from the horizon it came

And from the start, it took control

It burnt its way inside this soul

It broke this heart, it cracked these bones

As deep inside we turned to stone

I could never change the way I feel, only this is surreal

And, oh, trampled just like dust beneath the heels of industrial steel

The riverbed has cracked to its clay

And it's been centuries now, since I tasted rain

The echoes only whisper these days

To stir the ghosts of this town where shadows remain

And from the start, it took control

It burnt its way inside this soul

It broke this heart, it cracked these bones

As deep inside we turned to stone

I could never change the way I feel, only this is surreal

And, oh, trampled just like dust beneath the heels of industrial steel

And from the start, it took control

It burnt its way inside this soul

It broke this heart, it cracked these bones

As deep inside we turned to stone

I could never change the way I feel, only this is surreal

And, oh, trampled just like dust beneath the heels of industrial steel
