[Intro]
(fast picking, then a sharp riff)
Fire. Steel. Blood. Ash.
[Verse 1]
From the depths where light has died,
Where the steel on steel resounds,
I am forging my own shape —
One you never would have found.
Hammer falls upon the anvil,
Sparks go flying into space,
This is thunder — this my password,
This my ticket to your place.
Did you hear the ground beneath you
Cracking open at your shrine?
That is me, I'm coming for you,
That is me — your final sign.
[Pre-Chorus]
And when all the smoke has faded,
And the wall comes crashing down,
You will see just who is standing
Here. And this is not a war.
[Chorus]
Forge of eternity — here and now,
Flame that will burn you, and I don't care how.
Hammer and heartbeat — a single blow,
I am taking back what you stole long ago.
Forge of eternity — walls ablaze,
You're not leaving, you're already erased.
Steel is tempered in this fight,
I am you. You are me. Burning bright.
[Verse 2]
You were counting all my footsteps,
You were counting all my sins,
But you never could have counted
How many times I've been.
Every scar — a sealed decree,
Every breath — a loud "no more",
I will never fall to silence,
I will never wait for war.
Your fear is my only metal,
All your pain is my alloy,
I have forged you into nothing,
I have broken all your joy.
[Bridge]
(slow heavy groove, then acceleration)
Watch your whole world melt away…
Watch your throne dissolve to dust…
Now — it's my turn.
Now — it's my law.
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Forge of eternity — here and now,
Flame that will burn you, and I don't care how.
Hammer and heartbeat — a single blow,
I am taking back what you stole long ago.
Forge of eternity — walls ablaze,
You're not leaving, you're already erased.
Steel is tempered in this fight,
I am you. You are me. Burning bright.
[Outro]
(fading, guitar echo)
Fire. Steel. Blood. Ash.
Forge of eternity.
You were left inside.
