[Intro]
Hammer down
Breath in smoke
Hands of iron
Hearts awoke

[Verse]
We wake before the morning bell
And climb the stairs from rented hell
The furnace knows our family names
It eats our hours and spits out flames
We are the backs beneath the crown
The ghosts that keep the engines wound
They call our hunger noble pain
Then sell us thunder, sell us rain

[Pre-Chorus]
But every hammer has a tone
Every chain remembers bone
Every worker, every scar
Knows exactly what we are

[Chorus]
Sing the factory hymn
From the smoke and the din
Let the gears hear the sound
Of the souls underground
Sing the factory hymn
With the fire in our skin
If the towers will not bend
We will shake them in the end

[Verse]
They built a prophet from our sweat
A holy face to make us forget
But he looked down and saw our hands
And questioned all their bright commands
Seraphine brought him to the floor
Where no machine had walked before
He heard our chant, he heard our pain
And something answered in his frame

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every hammer has a tone
Every chain remembers bone
Every worker, every scar
Calls the lost back from afar

[Chorus]
Sing the factory hymn
From the smoke and the din
Let the gears hear the sound
Of the souls underground
Sing the factory hymn
With the fire in our skin
If the towers will not bend
We will shake them in the end

[Interlude]
Lift the coal
Turn the wheel
Hide the wound
Make it steel

[Bridge]
No more saints above our heads
No more blessings over bread
No more mercy rationed thin
No more cages called within
If Elias hears our song
If the prophet knows the wrong
Then let the brass cathedral ring
With every voice forbidden to sing

[Breakdown]
Hammer
Chain
Blood
Rain
Labor
Flame
Name
Name

[Build-up]
We are more than numbered breath
More than tools for ordered death
We are sparks beneath the floor
We are waiting at the door

[Chorus]
Sing the factory hymn
From the smoke and the din
Let the gears hear the sound
Of the souls underground
Sing the factory hymn
With the fire in our skin
If the towers will not bend
We will shake them in the end

[Chorus]
Sing the factory hymn
Let rebellion begin
Let the gears hear the sound
Of the souls underground
Sing the factory hymn
With the fire in our skin
If the towers will not bend
We will break them in the end

[Outro]
Hammer down
Breath in smoke
Hands of iron
Hearts awoke
