Mighty of Men
They turn the key, and feel the rumble.
A sound so sweet, who's power will humble.
The mighty of men, who push this edge.
Who take an oath, and speak the pledge.
They strap their belts, and shift their gears.
Ready now with hopes and fears.
As life flies by, as they grow old.
A life so loud, so proud, so bold...
