iron road - the lost brothers lyrics

out upon the iron road we heard the quiet sky come rumbling
cursing us in danger but we knew we had to find the way
walking on the iron road we heard about a brother wandering
wandering to a place and where it was he would not say
further on the open road we gazed upon the storm approaching
bringing visions of a time a century of sorrow and of pain
somewhere on the iron road we heard an empty voice come howling
crying about a stranger who was down and drowned in shame

take this shame
and turn it into laughter
on the iron road
we will forge it into light
take my name
and speak it no longer
on the iron road
we will rise again

so fall into the flames and shed a tear for what i’m seeing
lend a brother your right hand if you’ve got to give
for days like are numbered and the reason that we wander is lost upon me
but i will sing for a man who has no life left to live

take this life and live it til’ it’s over
on the iron road
we’ll mark the place where he lays
take his name and cry it out louder
on the iron road
the sleepers lay tonight

later after midnight fell a lightning bolt came crashing
striking on the stones that did glow with a serpent light
at the dying of the iron road we heard the burning sky come pleading
asking for an end to this long and cursed fight
take this fight and face it til’ it’s over
though this iron road will beat us in the end

let the breezes blow the ash into dead roses
on the iron road they will grow again
take this sky and tear it open
on the iron road we remember him tonight
on the iron road we recall joe hill tonight
