In uncertain, high-stakes times, one ought to embrace adversity and practice rigorous self-discipline to forge true strength, mastery, and power. One should steer clear of complacency, shortcuts, and pretense. Rather, stay vigilant in the details, endure pain as a necessary toll, and transform through sweat and struggle. This will position one as a resilient force capable of rising above fear and fragility. ********************************************************************************* [Verse] These're risky times, edges on everythin', One loose thread, and the plan comes unravelin'. Overconfident grin hides a hand that’s tremblin', Tiny cracks in the glass, you keep pretendin' (pretendin'.) [Pre-Chorus] Every shortcut taxes you with interest. Every blind spot waitin' like a witness. You feel it in your jaw, that grindin', risin' pressure. You want the throne, but can you take the weather? [Chorus] Sharpen! In the fire! Bleed a little, build some desire. Struggle's the toll for power! Brick by brick, hour by hour. Sharpen! In the fire! Cut through fear, strive for higher. Pain's a passin' choir, Sing your name into the wire. [Verse 2] This is not a game you can coast through, casual, Tiny, crucial moves separate sovereigns from collateral. Read the room slow, count all the quiet breathin', Danger's in the detail, lurkin' where you’re reachin'. [Pre-Chorus] Every rushed step plants another landmine. Every soft “it’s fine” is a crack in the spine. Face the mirror. Ask: “What am I made of?” Steel or sugar, dust or diamond, hate or love? [Chorus] Sharpen! In the fire! Bleed a little, build some desire. Struggle's the toll for power! Brick by brick, hour by hour. Sharpen! In the fire! Cut through fear, strive for higher. Pain's a passin' choir, Sing your name into the wire. [Bridge] You want mastery? Pay in sweat, not fantasy. Eat the loss, learn the code. Carry some weight, share the load. Eyes open, jaw set. You ain't at your peak yet. This is struggle, this is change. You’re the storm, you’re the flame! [Chorus] Sharpen! In the fire! Bleed a little, build some desire. Struggle's the toll for power! Brick by brick, hour by hour. Sharpen! In the fire! Cut through fear, strive for higher. Pain's a passin' choir, Sing your name into the wire. [Outro] (Sharpen!) In the fire! (Sharpen!) In the fire! These're risky times, edges on everythin', One loose thread, and the plan comes unravelin'. ******************************************************** Copyright © 2026 Holy Beast Records.
