Lyrics
Chains of love (Alt: Lovesmith)

[moderato]
E G
molten steel submits to heat
A E
its will is broken when hammers hit
E G
trial by fire from the mold
A E
into water's quenching cold
[ref]
B A G A
time after time hand in glove
B A A G E
we are forging chains of love
E | G | A | E
E G
love brings you up | and drags you down
A E
makes you feel just like a clown
E G
cut to pieces then you're spliced
A E
crushed by jaws of the vise
E G
wrapped around anvil's horn
A E
carved with chisel killed and reborn
[ref]
B A G A
time after time hand in glove
B A A G E
we are forging chains of love
E | G | A | E
[bridge]
A D
blow the bellows light the flames
A A G E
from tortured metal cast the chains
[pause, fade out]
[start quietly]
Bm F#m
Are you a gift from Gods? Are you a punishment?
A E
Like Pandora, when Prometheus brought fire to the men
Bm F#m
The fire that I carry on Is still burning in my hearth...
A A
It took so many years to master blacksmith's art
Bm
Like Volund(Wayland) and Hephaestus,
F#m
Forging, drawing, quenching steel
A
The tools don't make the blacksmith
E
- He makes ideas become real
Bm F#m
If life comes at your hard, If there's too much drama,
A A
If you feel like you are stuck Between the anvil and the hammer -
Bm F#m
No need to run around in flurry Or jump from fire into flames
A
Don't lose your temper, and don't worry
E
- you are in master's able hands
Bm F#m
We bound ourselves so willingly with heavy chains we wrought
A E
Strong iron links that tie us Let's strike it while it's hot
Bm
I may not be all that young
F#m
And may not be your biggest dream
A
But my sledgehammer still
E
Can make your anvil scream
Bm
If it's too much for you to handle
F#m
If you turn around and duck
A
You can slam(shut) the door behind you
NC
And may this horseshoe bring you luck!
