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
