I look through the window, at the houses in the valley below I built the roofs over their heads, a long time ago They don't know the name of the man who held the blade But they live their lives inside the world we made So don't you weep for the strength that left my bones Every piece of my soul is written in these stones We poured our sweat into the grain Through the winter cold and the summer rain We built the things that standard time can't erase Now there's a quiet stillness filling up this place And the smoke rises high, from the chimney in the trees An old man's empire, blowing in the breeze We were masters of the craft, standing side by side Now the workshop is empty, but we hold our pride The wood will stay warm... long after I am gone. Pass the hammer to the young... let the work carry on. And the smoke rises high, from the chimney in the trees An old man's empire, blowing in the breeze We were masters of the craft, standing side by side Now the workshop is empty, but we hold our pride Turn off the lights... lock the door. === La Fabrik Québécoise Du rock, du vrai.
