Bodybuilders Anthem 3

الكلمات

The years move on, the shadows grow The iron is heavy, the progress slow They look at me and ask me why I'm still down here where limits lie I used to lift to prove them wrong To show the world that I belong But now the crowd has faded out I have killed the noise, I have crushed the doubt A quiet temple made of bone The calluses have turned to stone The iron breathes, the iron speaks It catches me when I am weak It is more than muscle, it is the core A never-ending silent war Beyond the flesh, beyond the pain The only truth that still remains It is in the blood, it is in the bone The heavy path I walk alone Through every drop of falling sweat A promise that I will not forget It is not a phase, it is who I am The steady breath, the quiet man They see the scars, they see the age They think I'm trapped inside a cage But every scar is a story told Of staying fierce when the world went cold The joints will ache, the back will bend But I will be lifting to the end Because the weight is not a chore It is the anchor to my shore A quiet temple made of bone The calluses have turned to stone The iron breathes, the iron speaks It catches me when I am weak It is more than muscle, it is the core A never-ending silent war Beyond the flesh, beyond the pain The only truth that still remains It is in the blood, it is in the bone The heavy path I walk alone Through every drop of falling sweat A promise that I will not forget It is not a phase, it is who I am The steady breath, the quiet man The chalk dust settles on the floor I lock the world outside the door The plates will click a sacred sound The only peace that I have found I do not need the flashing lights I fight my demons in the night With every rep I strip away The weakness of another day (another day) A quiet temple made of bone The calluses have turned to stone The iron breathes, the iron speaks It catches me when I am weak A quiet temple made of bone The calluses have turned to stone The iron breathes, the iron speaks It catches me when I am weak It is more than muscle, it is the core A never-ending silent war Beyond the flesh, beyond the pain The only truth that still remains It is in the blood, it is in the bone The heavy path I walk alone Through every drop of falling sweat A promise that I will not forget It is not a phase, it is who I am The steady breath, the quiet man When the lights go out and the stage is bare When there is no one left to watch or stand The iron waits, it never lies The truest reflection in my eyes
