lyrics version 1
Something brings us life when buried in the earth
Deep inside the dark solid ground
Something in the way that love has given birth
With fire flying all around
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, sharp and shining
Metal on metal, like a cutting blade
Ooh ooh yeah
It's so nice when we're seeing eye to eye
When in everything we both agree
But differences will happen no matter how we try
And maybe this is meant to be
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, sharp and shining
Metal on metal, like a cutting blade
Tested in the furnace
Buried in the burning coal
It's like it's pounded, beaten
Rhythm of a hammer load
Woah oh
One day we'll be cleansed of all impurity
And we'll be nothing like we were before
We'll be tested for the fight and take the victory
Like weapons in a holy war
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, it's sharp and shining
Metal on metal on metal, it's just like cutting blade
(Iron and steel) Woh-oh strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together, strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it
(Iron and steel) Iron sharpens iron, so does a friend
(Iron and steel) Sharpen the friendship of another friend
(Iron and steel) If you'll be true and honest and open hearted
(Iron and steel) You'll be friends till the end
(Iron and steel) Why can't we get along
(Iron and steel) Everything we do is criticise
(Iron and steel) Everything I do seems to be wrong
(Iron and steel) At least the way you're looking through your eyes
(Iron and steel) Friend to friend, what's happened, what's happened
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
Iron and steel, You say you love me I can see it in your eyes
(Iron and steel) That your smiling face is a shallow disguise
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel
(Iron and steel) Like iron sharpens iron brother
(Iron and steel) What happened
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
(Iron and steel) Brother you should tell me 'cos I don't know
(Iron and steel) You disappeared, where did you go
(Iron and steel) Oh-oh-oh iron and steel
(Iron and steel) It don't feel good the way I think it should
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel, you've got to strike it together
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel
Deep inside the dark solid ground
Something in the way that love has given birth
With fire flying all around
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, sharp and shining
Metal on metal, like a cutting blade
Ooh ooh yeah
It's so nice when we're seeing eye to eye
When in everything we both agree
But differences will happen no matter how we try

(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together, strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it
(Iron and steel) Iron sharpens iron, so does a friend

(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel
