[Intro] Step by step, I take the flame Cut the doubt, I shape the pain [Verse 1] Hands like steel on a colder day I held my ground, I held my place Every bruise was a lesson learned Every fall made the furnace burn I wore the weight like a second skin Let the storm hit, let the work begin If the world pressed hard on my chest I bent that force into my best [Pre-Chorus] Let it come Let it shake me I don't break I get lighter Pressure builds Then it crowns me Strike by strike I rise higher [Chorus] Forge the pressure, forge it high Turn the hurt into battle cry Forge the pressure, set me free What tried to crush me, forged in me Forge the pressure, watch me burn Every scar is a lesson learned Through the fire, I stand proud Louder now, and harder now [Verse 2] There was a dark in the narrow room But I kept time with a steady pulse No easy road, no silver door Just one more mile and I wanted more I heard the fear in my own breath I met it there, then I outlasted Every crack in the frame I wore Made room for strength I never had before [Pre-Chorus] Let it come Let it shake me I don't break I get lighter Pressure builds Then it crowns me Strike by strike I rise higher [Chorus] Forge the pressure, forge it high Turn the hurt into battle cry Forge the pressure, set me free What tried to crush me, forged in me Forge the pressure, watch me burn Every scar is a lesson learned Through the fire, I stand proud Louder now, and harder now [Bridge] [Lead Guitar Solo] On the edge where the old self dies I found my name in the sparks and eyes No mercy from the hands of time So I climbed that pain and called it mine [Breakdown] Hit me once, I hit back clean Blood to iron, iron to gleam Hit me once, I hit back clean Blood to iron, iron to gleam [Final Chorus] Forge the pressure, forge it high Turn the hurt into battle cry Forge the pressure, set me free What tried to crush me, forged in me Forge the pressure, watch me burn Every scar is a lesson learned Through the fire, I stand proud Louder now, and harder now Forge the pressure Forge the pressure
