Trouble falls in my home
Troubled man, troubled stone
Turn a mountain of lies
Turn a card for my life
Man of steel, man of heart
Tame our ways, if we start
To devise something more
Something half-ways
[ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA]
Only a steel man came to recover
If he had run from gold, carry over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
[NACNA]
I took a bus to the lake
Saw the monument face
Yellow tides, golden eyes
Red and white, red and wise
Raise the flag, summer home
Parted hair and part unknown
If I knew what I read
I'll send it half-ways
[ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA]
Only a real man can be a lover
If he had hands to lend us all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
[NACNA]

Man of steel, man of heart
Turn your ear to my part

Raise the boat and raise the dead

If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other (La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
We have a lot to give one another (La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
