Amidst the blazing heart of Pittsburgh’s steel Where furnaces burn bright as a thousand suns They toil, these warriors whose calloused hands wield The might of molten metal that scorches and runs
Sparks crackle like fireflies in summer’s dusk As hammers ring out on glowing orange ingots
Sweat soaks their brows from the blast furnace’s musk In this volcano’s depths, no mere morning’s fogots
The clanging of tongs on white-hot iron bars Echoes through the smoky haze, a symphony Of grunts and shouts over the world’s fragile scars As they sculpt raw earth into strong modularity
Bare chests glistening, firelight dancing on skin Their muscles ripple, Vulcan’s own dynamos In this pandemonium where strength and grit win They are Pittsburgh’s elite, the steel mill’s bravos
From hellish crucibles, gleaming tomorrows spun Their labor, birthright of America’s rise No mere metal, these beams support cities once won
Through the might of those who stared down fiery skies
