Lost in his work, this weary man
Hidin' his face from the flames
Flashes of light, then the world goes dark
Tryin' to mend what remains
I lay my hammer down
Show me what's inside
It all falls away
Falls away
Falls away!
Sift through the dirt
And melt the rust
Will he bend or will he break?
With eyes above this broken man
We've got to keep him in line
He'll fall apart and shake with fear
Will he improve with time?
Everything I've known
I traded all away
Now I'm on my own
Is this where I'll stay?
Sift through the dirt
And melt the rust
Will he bend or will he break?
Unlock the door
And make the cut
Time to prove I'm no mistake
