[Verse 1]
Blue flame wakes the bay
Steel on the table, marked in chalk
Hands full of gloves and grit
We shape the frame from the bones of a truck
Sparks hit like a storm
White seam running down the dark
Torch sings through the plate
And the whole shop breathes that iron heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Measure twice, cut once
Hold it steady, hold it tight
Every scar in the beam
Built to stand in a hard-fought light
[Chorus]
We bend, we bind, we burn
Arc and hammers
We cut, we lock, we learn
Arc and hammers
When the fire bites back
We stand our ground
Arc and hammers
We build it loud
Arc and hammers
[Verse 2]
Bead by bead, we chase the line
No room for shake, no room for slack
Grinders spit on the floor
While the first pass glows and the filler stacks
Forklift hum in the back
Racks of pipe and a fresh steel coil
Helmet down, eyes locked in
We turn rough ore into something loyal
[Pre-Chorus]
Call it work, call it craft
Call it blood in a welding mask
Every joint that we trust
Was a fight that we made last
[Chorus]
We bend, we bind, we burn
Arc and hammers
We cut, we lock, we learn
Arc and hammers
When the fire bites back
We stand our ground
Arc and hammers
We build it loud
Arc and hammers
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Drop to the floor
Hold that seam
Weld it shut
Make it scream
Brace the beam
Hear it ring
One more pass
Let the whole room sing
[Final Chorus]
We bend, we bind, we burn
Arc and hammers
We cut, we lock, we learn
Arc and hammers
When the fire bites back
We stand our ground
Arc and hammers
We build it loud
Arc and hammers
