Driving The Last Spike (2007 Digital Remaster) - Genesis (创世纪)[00:00:00]

Leaving my family behind me[00:00:48]

Not knowing what lay ahead[00:00:53]

Waving goodbye as I left them in tears[00:00:58]

Remembering all wed said[00:01:03]

I looked to the sky I offered my prayers[00:01:07]

I asked him for guidance and strength[00:01:12]

But the simple beliefs of a simple man[00:01:17]

Lay in his hands and on my head[00:01:22]

I gave everything that they wanted[00:01:53]

But still they wanted more[00:01:58]

We sweat and we toiled[00:02:02]

Good men lost their lives[00:02:05]

I don't think they knew what for[00:02:08]

I sold them my heart[00:02:12]

I sold them my soul[00:02:14]

I gave everything I had[00:02:17]

Ah but they couldn't break my spirit[00:02:22]

My dignity fought back [00:02:26]

Fightback[00:02:31]

Can you hear me[00:02:41]

Can you see[00:02:46]

Don't you hear me[00:02:51]

Don't you see[00:02:55]

We worked in gangs for all we were worth[00:03:10]

The young boys pulling the wagons[00:03:14]

We were digging the tunnel shifting the earth[00:03:19]

It was then that it happened [00:03:25]

No-one knew how the cracks appeared[00:03:29]

But as it fell they all disappeared[00:03:34]

Stone fell like rain[00:03:39]

Can you hear me [00:03:41]

Can you see[00:03:46]

Don't you hear me[00:03:51]

Can you breathe[00:03:56]

The smoke cleared the dust it settled[00:04:36]

No one knew how many had died[00:04:41]

All around there were broken men[00:04:46]

They'd said it was safe they'd lied[00:04:50]

You could hear the cries you could smell the fear[00:04:55]

But good fortune that day was mine[00:05:00]

And it occurred to me the heart of a good man[00:05:05]

It seems is hard to find [00:05:09]

Can you hear me [00:05:15]

Can you see[00:05:19]

Don't you hear me[00:05:24]

Don't you see[00:05:29]

We worked how we worked like[00:06:03]

The devil for our pay[00:06:06]

Through the wind through the snow [00:06:12]

And through the rain[00:06:16]

Blasting and cutting through gods country like a knife[00:06:22]

Sweat stinging my eyes there has to be a better life[00:06:31]

Ah but I can hear my childrens cry[00:06:40]

I can see the tears in their eyes[00:06:44]

Memories of those I've left behind[00:06:49]

Still ringing in my ears[00:06:54]

Will I ever go back again[00:06:59]

Will I ever see her face again[00:07:04]

I'll never forget that night[00:07:08]

As they waved goodbye to their fathers[00:07:12]

We came from the north [00:07:19]

And we came from the south[00:07:22]

With picks and with spades[00:07:24]

And a new kind of order[00:07:26]

Showing no fear of what lies up ahead[00:07:29]

They'll never see the likes of us again[00:07:33]

Driving the last spike [00:07:46]

Lifting and laying the track[00:07:48]

With blistering hands [00:07:55]

The sun burning your back[00:07:58]

Oh but I can hear my childrens cry[00:08:04]

I can see the tears in their eyes[00:08:08]

Memories of those I've left behind[00:08:13]

Still ringing in my ears[00:08:18]

Well I'll always remember that night [00:08:23]

As they waved goodbye to their fathers[00:08:27]

We followed the rail we slept under the stars[00:08:34]

Digging in darkness and living with danger[00:08:39]

Showing no fear of what lies up ahead[00:08:44]

They'll never see the likes of us again[00:08:48]

Can you hear me[00:09:36]

Can you see[00:09:41]

Don't you hear me[00:09:46]

Don't you see[00:09:51]
