Heated, beaten, burned, abused
In this forge this all happens.
With such powerful trials,
the weak is eliminated leaving the strong.
In this forge pain is replaced by strength,
sorrow by solace, and wounds with scars.
For as all that brings us these, a better
form grows within.
In this forge, the constant, rhythmic beating
keeps as a reminder that so long as it burns,
we grow stronger.

In this forge this all happens.
With such powerful trials,
the weak is eliminated leaving the strong.
In this forge pain is replaced by strength,
sorrow by solace, and wounds with scars.
For as all that brings us these, a better
form grows within.
In this forge, the constant, rhythmic beating
keeps as a reminder that so long as it burns,
we grow stronger.
