Relight the Forge
One dream have many people had
And many questions does it add
For since we people had arrived
Toward this dream we all have strived
One cannot speak the wonders wrought
Of fires' blazing orange hot
Of steel once hammered with men's might
This craft which now has left the light
One, only one, now stands among
You all, whose hammer has yet sung
The song of metals gleaming bright
Like twinkling skies in starry night
If only I could chase this dream
And catch its secrets it would seem
That all would turn to crystal glass
And all my painful sorrows pass
If in my father's steps I'd walk
And break society's cruel lock
For all my life would my halls ring
Among the few I would be King
If I would soon relight the forge
And fill with treasure this black gorge
Then all the world shall once more see
A blacksmith's works of pure beauty
