Welding the Dreams

Lower the hood and let the blue light burn I'm taking back the life that I had to earn The shop is a cavern of a shadow and lime Where I'm trading my vision for a little more time They say the world is moving to a digital soul But you can't keep the winter from taking its toll Without the jars that are fueled In the seams that are tight I'm the man holding back cold of the night Oh I'm weld in the dreams with a steady hand Building a life on a hard hearted land Between the spark and the ski Between the dark and the day I'm melting the sorrow and the dead away You can't break the bond and you can't strip the scenes I'm the heat and the power I'm welding the dream Yeah I'm building it solid and I'm building it right One flash of glory in the middle of the night My lungs are full of iron and my eyes are full of brick But I got a blueprint that'll never quit I've seen a hollow empires made of paper and pride But they don't know the secrets That the heavy plates hide It's a lonesome kinda prayer in the hum of the lid Keeping the family and the furnace fed I'm stitching together the pieces of a life Through the fire and the friction And the edge of the knife Oh I'm welled into dreams with a steady hand Building a life on a hard hearted land Between the spark and the steel Between the dark and the day I'm melting the sorrow and the dead away You can't break the bond and you can't strip the scene I'm the heat and the power I'm wetting the dream Yeah I'm building it solid and I'm cutting it right One flash of glory in the middle of the night Feel the odds shake it See the spark like a lightning rod I'm the one holding it together When the whole world wants to ball fuse it I'm wet in the dreams with a steady hand Building a life on a hard hearted land Between the spark and the steel Between the dark and the day I'm melting the sorrow in the dead away You can't break the bond and you can't strip the scene I'm the heat and the power I'm willing to dream Yeah I'm building it solid and I'm doing it right One flash of glory in the middle of the night Played it cool The scene is true Welding the dreams go Let go The same is true Welding the dream Starlight
