Black hand, The hammer’s throat
Weak pulse beating out of rhythm
These are the seeds of suffering
Still the pulse and drive the nail
Bowed head, Harvest moon
The threshing floor, The chilling board
I’ll break your bread, I’ll drink your wine
Still the pulse and drive the nail
Still the pulse and drive the nail
Still the pulse
It’s all about finding the sweet spot
And drive it in!
What Brutus hides, John Henry drives,
the puncture wounds, the broken hearts
I’m a steel-driving man
Still the pulse.
Yeah, it’s all about finding the sweet spot
And drive it in! Drive it in! Drive it in!
Silver spike, Crimson thread
Blood-drive, the needle’s eye
This is the source of all sacrifice
Still the pulse and drive the nail
The hand that holds the hammer
is the one held by the nail
The heart pumps, the hammer rings
These are the threads of destiny
Still the pulse and drive the nail
Still the pulse and drive the nail
Still the pulse
It’s all about finding the sweet spot
And drive it in!
What Brutus hides, John Henry drives,
the puncture wounds, the broken hearts
I’m a steel-driving man
Still the pulse
Yeah it’s all about finding the sweet spot.
And drive it in! Drive it in! Drive it in!
