Hand of Man - Duke Special

I came from the east, was a pilgrim son

Changed that faith for another one

When you’ve mouths to feed you do what you can

So I sold my soul to the railway man

All hail the hand of man

Gonna build whatever we can

Gonna make us a holy land

All hail the hand of man

Spread out west with fingers of steel

Hammers, picks, sparks from the wheels

We raised up temples as fast as we could

There is no evil and there is no good

All hail the hand of man

Gonna build whatever we can

Gonna make us a holy land

All hail the hand of man

Go to sleep, forget your dreams

We need need you bones for our machines

Scrape the sky until we choke

Pan for gold until we are broke

We could forge a world that’s brave and new

You’ll take from me and I’ll take from you

All hail the hand of man

Gonna build whatever we can

Gonna make us a holy land

All hail the hand of man

All hail the hand of man

Each of us at your command

Not for us to understand

All hail the hand of man
