[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I s made of many things, it ain t just one
If you heat it up enough, well then it s bound to run
It carries more weight, than most that are around
When it falls, it s a chore to get off the ground
But the strength it has, far outweighs the mass
Holdin strong, when others just might crack
[Chorus]
Because I ve known the heat and the hammer
So I ve grown and built me this laddder
And I ll climb my way out from hell and make my way North
The solution and the problem they both come from the same source
And it s the steel, yeah it s the steel
[Verse 2]
Light it up, and get that thing firin
A dash of carbon and a fistfull of iron
You can find it anywhere you might rest your gaze
Spannin skies and rivers, and movin round our days
You can melt it down and build up something new
Without losing anything, not losing what you knew
[Chorus]
Because I ve known the heat and the hammer
So I ve grown and built me this laddder
And I ll climb my way out from hell and make my way North
The solution and the problem they both come from the same source
And it s the steel, yeah it s the steel
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Because I ve known the heat and the hammer
So I ve grown and built me this laddder
And I ll climb my way out from hell and make my way North
The solution and the problem they both come from the same source
And it s the steel, yeah it s the steel
