SAXON – 𝕱𝖎𝖗𝖊 𝕬𝖓𝖉 𝕾𝖙𝖊𝖊𝖑
Directed, produced and edited by Paul M Green
“The original title was ‘Fire and Steam’ and the song itself is more thrash than classic metal, comments Byford. I was going to do it about something else, and then I had a bit of an epiphany and I thought ‘Fire And Steel’ was better let’s do it about Sheffield. If people were eating with a knife and fork back, say, a hundred years ago, that was something that sometimes was made in Sheffield. They invented stainless steel there, and there’s still a lot of steel in Sheffield but nothing like it used to be. Sheffield was one of my big stomping grounds when I was a teenager. We used to go to Sheffield and see all the bands at Sheffield City Hall, and the clubs and pubs there that had bands on.”
The band have just recently announced the “Hell, Fire And Steel” European tour which will not only see the band performing songs from their well received, recently released, top 20 album Hell, Fire And Damnation (out now on Silver Lining Music) but will also see the band play the whole of their classic sophomore album Wheels of Steel (released 45 years ago next year) as well as also playing other fan favourites and hits from across the band’s career.
Lyrics
Feeding the furnace melting the iron
Crushing and grinding and smelting the steel
Steaming and sweating the fruits of their labour
The best in world it’s called Sheffield steel
Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat blinding light
Fire and steel
Made this mighty city
Fire and steel
Forged by working hands
Fire and steel
Red hot and heavy
Fire and steel
The finest in the land
White hot and molten flowing like lava
Bending and shaping and pounding the iron
Lifting and shifting the weight of the city
Shipping and moving their steel cross the world
Man and machine never stop
Forging the steel round the clock
Fire and steel
Made this mighty city
Fire and steel
Forged with working hands
Fire and steel
Red hot and heavy
Fire and steel
The finest in the land
The sound of the city, the crashing of metal
Blending the iron to make into steel
Using the science first with the knowledge
A great Northern city leading the world
Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat blinding light
Fire and steel
Made this mighty city
Fire and steel
Forged with Yorkshire hands
Fire and steel
Red hot and heavy
Fire and Steel
The greatest in the land
