Fire And Steel

Feeding the furnace and melting the iron
Twisting and grinding and smelting the steel
Steaming and sweating the fruits of their labour
The best in the world is called Sheffield steel

Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat, blinding light

Fire and steel made this mighty city
Fire and steel, forged by working hands
Fire and steel, red hot and heavy
Fire and steel, the finest in the land

White hot and molten and flowing like lava
Bending and shaping and pounding the iron
Lifting and shifting the weight of the city
Shipping and moving their steel 'cross the world

Man and machine never stop
Forging their steel on the clock

Fire and steel made this mighty city
Fire and steel, forged with working hands
Fire and steel, red hot and heavy
Fire and steel, the finest in the land

The sound of the city, the crushing of metal
Blend in the iron to make into steel
Using the science to fuss with the knowledge
A great northern city leading the world

Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat, blinding light

Fire and steel made this mighty city
Fire and steel, forged with Yorkshire hands
Fire and steel, red hot and heavy
Fire and steel, the greatest in the land
