Now hard time go so slow and I've got ten to go
I'm a number now, I don't have a name
But there ain't no need to whine this ball and chain is mine
There ain't no way to stop this burnin' pain

At night old memories show cold steel is so cold
It's lonesome time when they turn out the light
These walls are grim and gray tomorrow's another day
To swing my hammer down with all my might
