Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Smoke in the whistle veins of the rail Steam murmurs secrets that history will veil Stubborn wheels roll but never forget Blood-soaked iron and old regret [Verse 2] Men with bayonets march to nowhere Children in factories with dust woven hair Freedom whispers from statues bound Still the split nation staggers Spellbound [Chorus] Oh land of shadow and land of steam Build a future that splits the seam Where the shackled past refuses to bend Caught between the start and the end [Bridge] Factories pounding to the rhythm of grit Sweat and hunger in fortunes split Headlines screaming of golden decay Dreamers dreaming the world away [Verse 3] Upturned soil and the worker's yoke Through the crackling field where echoes spoke Bones beneath now feed the roots deep America rising where the brave weep [Chorus] Oh land of shadow and land of steam Build a future that splits the seam Where the shackled past refuses to bend Caught between the start and the end
