Song: My sledge and hammer lie reclined, my bellows,...

My Sledge and Hammer lie reclin'd my Bellows too have lost their wind have lost their wind my Sledge and Hammer lie reclin'd my Bellows too have lost their wind have lost their wind my Sledge and Hammer lie reclin'd my Bellows too have lost their wind.
My Fire's extinct my Forge decay'd and in the dust and in the dust my Vice is laid and in the dust my Vice is laid my Fire's extinct my Fire's extinct my Forge decay'd and in the dust my Vice is laid and in the dust my Vice is laid and in the dust my Vice is laid.
My Coal is spent my Iron's gone my Coal is spent my Iron's gone my Nails are drove my Nails are drove my Work is done. my Coal is spent my Iron's gone my Nails are drove my Work my Work is done. my Coal is spent my Iron's gone my Iron's gone my Nails are drove my Work is done.
