Oh how the nights of forging tear away at my mind

Not quite the hero's journey still I find

My road is laid in failure charred from all the tries

Yet still I strike the blade a million more times

Burning, yearning for it all - for it all!

Desire cries wild inside my soul for the sword!

To tame the steel the greatest of all time

I give it all the hours of my lonely life

I'm gonna be the master of perfection

I'll only rest the day the dream is realized

Feeling the flame, forging away, everyday

Screaming in pain, temper the blade, everyday

Firing the steel, grind of the wheel, everyday

Going insane, trying again, everyday

Sometimes I sit and wonder - what if I resign?

My feelings fade in slumber - close my eyes

I wake to find the answer under the rising sun

I'll stand against it all, turn nothing into one

Desire cries wild inside my soul, hear the call!

The hard road lives inside us all, forge the sword!

Hammering the edge of the night...
