We're building fires that will burn until morning The smell of books and hot stone surround us Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin Strong are the bonds that we make We feel the steam as it rises around us Up from the soil that is cracking its back Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin Strong are the bonds that sing Work till you're musclebound all night long Work till you're musclebound all night long Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long We're building fires that will burn until morning The smell of books and hot stone surround us Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin Strong are the bonds that we make To hear a pulsing from chanter to mountain Down through the vein and into the grain Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time Here is the land it can break Work till you're musclebound all night long Work till you're musclebound all night long Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
