[00:13.64] I got a cut on my hand from the factory gate
[00:17.28] I punch the clock I carry the weight
[00:20.64] They shut the mill they sold the steel
[00:24.13] Left us for dead with a bitter deal
[00:27.55] My old man drank 'til the light turned grey
[00:30.50] Said the fire inside don't fade it decays
[00:33.89] Now I walk these nights like I walk the line
[00:37.57] One foot in the grave one lost in time
[00:42.82] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[00:46.24] Fire and vengeance in a shattered glass
[00:49.42] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[00:52.71] The kind of heat you can't outlast
[00:56.29] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[00:59.72] No glory waiting on the edge of town
[01:02.94] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[01:06.38] Fire and vengeance raining down
[01:18.15] I was raised on scraps and second shifts
[01:21.43] On busted tools and broken wrists
[01:24.82] They told me son "just know your place"
[01:27.98] So I learned to lie with a smile on my face
[01:31.50] Mary Jane took off with the pentecostal kid
[01:34.81] Said this town's a graveyard with a rusted lid
[01:38.13] Left me nothing but a trail of debt
[01:41.46] And a hank junior tape that I ain't played yet
[01:47.27] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[01:50.40] Fire and vengeance it don't let go
[01:53.63] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[01:57.18] It rides shotgun to the end of the road
[02:00.49] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[02:03.77] If you want forgiveness here's the deal
[02:07.23] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[02:10.64] Fire and vengeance behind the wheel
[02:15.25] There's a shadow leaning at my door
[02:18.88] A silhouette from the days of yore
[02:22.36] She sings a song of loss and love
[02:25.70] Like a requiem from up above
[02:28.99] The bells they toll in minor keys
[02:32.43] A call to fragile memories
[02:35.37] I wear my regret like a second skin
[02:39.20] The battle's lost before it begins (before it begins)
[02:56.38] Fire and vengeance
[02:59.68] Fire and vengeance
[03:03.01] Fire and vengeance
[03:06.38] Fire and vengeance
[03:09.70] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[03:13.16] Fire and vengeance it don't let go
[03:16.54] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[03:19.65] It rides shotgun to the end of the road
[03:23.37] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[03:26.47] No glory waiting on the edge of town
[03:30.45] Fire and vengeance (oh, oh)
[03:33.48] Fire and vengeance raining down
[03:40.57]
