Take the hammer and strike the metal,
Take a person and strike their heart,
Smelt the metal down into steel,
Smelt a person so they understand how you feel.

The way you craft the metal is your own,
The way you craft a mind is unknown,
When finished thy blade be done,
When finished thy life has begun.

Once crafted no longer be metal,
Once crafted a life be gentle,
Now that you got a blade,
Now that you have purpose,
Choose a path or live in a furnace.

The way you craft,
The way you live,
The ways you love,
All comes down when smelting,

Just remember that,
Someone is always Smelting Thy Heart.
