Rusted Chains - Levi Stoker
Lyrics by：Levi Stoker
Composed by：Levi Stoker

I was born in the shadow of a smokestack town
Where the only way to go was a mile underground
Wrap me in a legacy of iron and a coal
Put a number on my jacket and a shackle on my soul
I spent forty years pulling at the weight of the past
In a factory of shadows that was never meant to last
The breeze is in my marrow and the sun is in my skin
Waiting for the moment that the real work can begin
Oh I'm breaking through the rusty chains
One link at a time
I'm the ghost of the machinery
I'm the rhythm and the rhyme
You can pull me to the floor
You can lock the heavy door
But you can't keep a heart of fire quiet anymore
Yeah the oxide's falling off
And the spirit's coming clean
I'm more than just a ghost inside a rusted out machine
Hear the metal snapping feel the freedom in my veins
I'm rising from the wreckage of these rusted chains
The farmers got a whistle but I got a song
About the ones who get to
Heavy lifting all their lives long
We're the cars and we're the pistons
With the hole in the heat
While the city folks are sleeping
In the silence of the street
My hands are made with silver stars
From the sparks end of the breeze
Everyone's a badge of honor for the man I'm gonna be
Padlock's gettin' widow and the hinges start to grown
I'm takin' back the power that I always truly own
Though I'm breakin' through the rusty chains
One ring at a time
I'm the ghost of the machinery
I'm the rhythm and the rhyme
You can pull me to the floor
You can lock the heavy door
But you can't keep a heart of fire quiet anymore
Yeah the axI's falling off
And the spirit's coming clean
I'm more than just a ghost inside a rusted out machine
Hear the metal snapping feel the freedom in my veins
I'm rising from the wreckage
These rusted chains
The iron is weak
The truth is gonna speak
Snap the wire slave feel the same fire
I am free
Yeah I'm begging to the rusty chains
One leak at a time
I'm the ghost of the machinery
I'm the rhythm and the rhyme
You can roll me to the floor
You can lock the heavy door
But you can't keep a heart of fire quiet anymore
Yeah it's all falling off
And the spirit's cold and clean
I'm more than just a ghost inside a rusted out machine
Hear the metal smacking feel the freedom in my veins
I'm rising from the wreckage
Of these rusted trains
Rusted trains falling at my feet
Free land
Step
