On the line
Hours inch by,
years gone, 
time passes by,
You try, reply,
but you can't remember now why.

As the winter months come,
and you see your work done,
not enough can be saved,
work your bones to the grave,
 Can you still provide,
 for a family who tried,
 the hours you slave
for a poor man’s worst trade

Your back's to the wall,
 will you stand will you fall,
this is your time
Now - arise

Their news fed you lies,
 that eveything’s fine,
 your wage is your worth,
their reign is unearthed!
 No more will we cower,
this is the hour,
we'll suffer no more,
you're the face of the poor  

Rise now stand tall, 
will you stand will you fall
This is the call, on the line - stand tall

Work for yourself, not anyone else,
let labor be that,
to bring joy and wealth back, 
 don’t bite on the line,
that pay is worth time,
when life has elapsed.


On the Line

Born in a trailer park
in Cleveland's East side
From the first day of birth
he wished he'd died
His father fought in Vietnam
wished his son a better life
Gave the kid a comic book,
said heroes conquer strife
 
Hey kid, you've always been the underdog
Yet you walk on, in spite of it all
Through all the pain
The suffering and woe
Just like a comic book hero
 
Kid grew into a man
on the streets that are so cold
Bottle was his only friend
 left him warn and old
Women and love are not real life
so the kid tried suicide
Somehow before the end
he found a reason not to die
 
Kid's always down to fight
 when honor is on the line
Never did see him cry ‘til
the day his father died
Somehow he finds the will
to always carry on
When the night is cold and dark
you can hear him hum this song

Unite

Born on the storm-battered industrial-wasteland of Lake Erie’s shores, Cleveland metal titans Deadiron find themselves on the precipice of change. Since their inception in 2010, the five-piece endured struggles that would have broken many. Dire economic conditions, line-up changes, and a political climate rife with tension have torn apart many a band, but those elements only forged members Alexander Van Ness, Tyler Harvey, John Bennett, Thomas Walling, and Kenny Streza into a unit bound and determined for musical domination. Those caustic ingredients, married with the varied music influences and shared discipline of the quintet, have given birth to Deadiron’s signature sound: a thunderous blend of hope and ferocity as melodic as it is pummeling. Charging down a path the likes of which only they can tread, Deadiron stands poised to lay siege to the music scene wherever their banner will sail.
