Cover art for Age of Steam lyrics by Saxon

This track, as obvious by the title, is civilization and society's transition from a slower, rural lifestyle to the rapid industrialization by steam technology. It revolves around progress and the revolutionary changes that came with the technological advancements made during the Industrial Revolution. It also talks about the idea that the progress may not benefit everyone equally, "Bringing wealth and power to the few," which captures the often-unequal benefits of industrial advancements and serves as a critique of the societal structures that emerge from this era.
