We’re building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make
We feel the steam as it rises around us
up from the soil that is cracking its back
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we sing
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
We’re building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make
To hear a pulsing from chanter to mountain
down through the vein and into the grain
Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
here is the land it can break
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we sing
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
