Iron Wings - Amandine

you gave us iron wings

and solid iron feathers

to soar on the northern winds

and fly in any weather

but this town is a magnet

it pulls us from the sky

it brings us back into its arms

and hold us down inside

you gave us iron hands

and solid iron fingers

to build on other lands

a home that’ll always linger

but this town is a whirlwind

it tears our buildings down

it brings us back into its arms

and holds us down inside
