Soul Forge

Shadows stretch across the glass and gold,
A city shining, but the air is cold.
I pack the silence, leave the noise behind,
A steady rhythm in a restless mind.
Every step is heavy, every breath is deep,
Promises I made are promises I keep.

I turn the ache to iron, I turn the grief to steel,
I walk the endless distance, I make the phantom real.
Through the static and the shadows, I am moving to your side,
With the fire of the waiting as my compass and my guide.
Yeah, the pain is just the hammer, and my soul is just the forge,
I am walking through the fire, I am crossing through the gorge.

Look, I swallow down the sorrow, lock it in a vault,
If the sky begins to crack, I know it’s not my fault.
But I carry on the duty, I suppress the inner sting,
Just to hear the single note that only you can sing.
No retreat, no surrender, just the logic of the heart,
Even when the empty spaces try to tear the world apart.

They say the void is endless.
They say the road is broken.
But every word unspoken
Is a bridge that I have broken.
I wait. I build. I stand.
I reach out for your hand.

I turn the ache to iron, I turn the grief to steel,
I walk the endless distance, I make the phantom real.
Through the static and the shadows, I am moving to your side,
With the fire of the waiting as my compass and my guide.
Yeah, the pain is just the hammer, and my soul is just the forge,
I am walking through the fire, I am crossing through the gorge.
