You will burn, before you melt-

That's how hot it's going to get

And the parts that felt like home

Will all be lost in the gale;

You might think it can't get worse

But my love

It's just the beginning

Everything alien, unpleasantly new

You will find you have to pick

Like it or not, you won't get out

Till you find the way to make them stick

And even then, it will not end:

Instead be prepared

For Round Two.

A whole new heat, in a blasting furnace

Will see you melt again

Have no doubt you'll be spread out thin

Beaten and hammered and rolled and cut

Till you want to do nothing but scream-

But, my love, I beg of you-

Please do not give in

It might feel a little unfair

That they kept these truths from you

If you'd known, you never would

Have signed up for this hell

And I know, it will incense

This pain like nothing you've felt

But, my love, I beg of you

Please do not give up

For you see, it's only then

Can you forge

A spirit so strong

A will so tough

And a heart that never, never gives up:

Just hold on, and one day

You'll be the one they think of

When they think of

Steel
