Let me take you through the streets of the Steel City
Where the air's thick with tales both gritty and pretty
Pittsburgh standing tall in its glory and might
A city of champions in the day and the night
We bleed black and gold it's more than just colors
It's a legacy of warriors sisters and brothers
From the gridiron to the ice in the heat of the fight
We rise we conquer with all our might
Blackout we light up the night
In the city of champions we're the beacon bright
Pittsburgh where dreams take flight
In the black out we shine our light
From the echoes of Three Rivers to the heights of Mount Wash
We've seen legends born with the world in awash
Steelers to the Penguins Pirates in between
We're a city of fighters on and off the scene
We've faced the black outs the tough times the pain
But like our steel we weather we endure the strain
And when the lights come back on it's our time to claim
Victory in our veins it's more than just a game
Blackout we stand as one
Under the same sky the same burning sun
Pittsburgh where champions run
In the black out we're never done
They say a city's just buildings just bricks and mortar
But Pittsburgh's alive it's the people the order
A community of champions across every border
In the black out we break every recorder
So here's to the city where the steel mills blaze
To the nights of hard work to the championship days
We're the heart of the nation in so many ways
Pittsburgh our city forever it stays
Blackout but still we see
The dreams of a city where we're meant to be
Pittsburgh in victory we're free
In the black out we're the key
So let the lights dim let the critics doubt
We're Pittsburgh strong inside and out
In every black out we'll rout
We're the city of champions without a doubt
