Block By Block

I woke up in a dirt-block room

One torch burning through the gloom

Got a wooden pick and a cracked-up map

One wrong step and the floor goes black

Outside, creepers walk the fence

Skeletons got no common sense

I dug down low with a shaky hand

Found iron blood in the broken land

Block by block, I make my stand

Stone in my fist, fire in my head

Hear that boom at the edge of night

I came to build, I came to fight

Block by block, we rise

(Block by block)

Mine that gold tonight

(Block by block)

Build it high, don’t stop

(Block by block)

We won’t fall, we don’t drop

I carved a path through the mountain spine

Hit a vein of red and I drew that line

Made a door from oak and a roof from rain

Put my name in the world again

Then the deep dark called my name

Blue flames crawling through the cave

I held my breath, I struck that stone

Came back rich and not alone

Block by block, I make my stand

Stone in my fist, fire in my head

Hear that boom at the edge of night

I came to build, I came to fight

Block by block, we rise

(Block by block)

Mine that gold tonight

(Block by block)

Build it high, don’t stop

(Block by block)

We won’t fall, we don’t drop

Oh-oh, from the ash and clay

Oh-oh, I don’t run away

Diamond heart, iron breath

I’ll keep building past my death

Block by block, we rise

(Block by block)

Mine that gold tonight

(Block by block)

Build it high, don’t stop

(Block by block)

We won’t fall, we don’t drop

Block by block, we rise

(Block by block)

Turn the dark to light

(Block by block)

Hand in hand, all night

(Block by block)

This world’s ours to fight
