[00:00.00]Blacksmith's Prayer (Live) - Seth Lakeman
[00:25.85]My fire extinct
[00:28.81]My forge decayed
[00:31.71]By the side of my bench
[00:34.23]My old vice is laid
[00:37.71]My anvil and hammer
[00:40.86]Lie gathering dust
[00:43.81]My powerful bellows
[00:46.47]Have lost their thrust
[00:49.46]Hearts now cased steel
[00:55.23]To a blacksmith's prayer I will kneel
[01:05.25]Those burning sparks
[01:08.11]They scorched the dirt
[01:10.87]They lit the sky
[01:13.49]And fell to the earth
[01:16.66]I smelt and forged
[01:19.72]Fused and bent
[01:22.59]I dug the core
[01:25.30]Now my years are spent
[01:28.55]Hearts now cased steel
[01:34.17]To a blacksmith's prayer I will kneel
[01:43.85]Salt sweat and steam
[01:46.26]It came trickling down
[01:49.94]My labour's love
[01:52.32]Now rest in the ground
[01:55.74]Sharp nails and chained
[01:58.71]Spike rings and blades
[02:01.50]They all reside
[02:04.43]A world handmade
[02:07.44]Hearts now cased steel
[02:13.13]To a blacksmith's prayer I will kneel
[02:46.31]So hard it was to rest it on the ground
[02:51.29]So hard it was to sleep without a sound
[02:56.39]So hard without the smoke
[02:58.90]Those fingers around my throat
[03:01.37]So hard it was to lay my body down
[03:14.26]So hard without the smoke
[03:16.67]Those fingers around my throat
[03:19.06]So hard it was to lay my body down
[03:47.54]My fire extinct
[03:50.50]My forge decayed
[03:53.58]By the side of my bed
[03:56.05]These words are laid
[03:59.67]Burnt brittle hands
[04:02.64]Lie gathering dust
[04:05.71]My pounding soul has lost it's thrust
[04:11.67]Hearts now cased in steel
[04:17.58]To a blacksmith's prayer I will kneel
