John Henry
God bless your soul
You picked up the hammer out of others’ thirst for control
To preserve your life
And thwart the villain brandishing empowered knife
I’ve been shedding tears for you
and you’ve been living under lethal strain
All for the sake of machine’s strength
To belittle the power of such a man
John Henry died on the side of the road
Taking that steel through tunnel and hole
Broken by those with hammer in hand
A hero mistaken for a sacrificial lamb
Whose destiny was decided by those who can
Not again, not again
John Henry
God bless your soul
Killed for being caught in the grips of an arcane toll
Carried out by the falsely ordained
Who judge the life of those according to what is trained
I’ve been shedding tears for you
And you’ve been drawing blood
What a waste of a galant man
Who will sadly not be the end
John Henry died on the side of the road
Taking that steel through tunnel and hole
Broken by those with hammer in hand
A hero mistaken for a sacrificial lamb
Whose destiny was decided by those who can
Not again, not again
No I can’t take this no more
When will Janus be at the door
