Generated with AI Songtext "Forge the Mind, Forge the Frame" [VERSE 1] I wake before the daylight breaks With tired bones and old mistakes No easy road, no golden gate Just one more chance to shape my fate I read the words, I lift the weight I sharpen skill, I train my state For every hour I give to pain Returns as iron in my veins A dull mind bows beneath the chain A weak hand fails to guard the slain So I build both soul and skin To fight the wars that rise within Knowledge keeps the wolves away Strength protects the ones who pray Not for pride and not for fame But to stand when others break [PRE-CHORUS] Odin paid to drink from truth Wisdom cost him blood and youth Nothing great is freely won Every dawn must forge the son [CHORUS] Forge the mind, forge the frame Every dawn I rise again Knowledge breaks the tyrant’s chain Strength will guard the weak from pain Forge the mind, forge the frame Death must learn to fear my name Every scar and every strain Turns my blood to iron flame [VERSE 2] I learn new crafts with open hands Improve old ways on harder lands What failed today becomes my guide What broke my pride becomes my stride No wasted fall, no useless scar Each one shows me where roads are hard A fool will curse the stone he meets A wiser man will train his feet The body bends, the spirit learns The old fire dies, a new one burns I chase no shadow, wear no mask I build myself through every task If darkness comes for those I love I will not watch from far above I’ll stand between the blade and breath A harder foe for pain and death [PRE-CHORUS] Train the hand and train the thought Guard the things that can’t be bought Learn the blade and learn the book So no king can bend your look [CHORUS] Forge the mind, forge the frame Every dawn I rise again Knowledge breaks the tyrant’s chain Strength will guard the weak from pain Forge the mind, forge the frame Death must learn to fear my name Every scar and every strain Turns my blood to iron flame
