lyrics

Light me in the forge and forge me in the light
Teach my soul to stand, my soul to stand and fight
(I) Steel myself to test the steel that’s burning bright
Teach my soul to stand, my soul to stand and fight
Oh my soul to stand and fight

Formless ore to brandished blade
A transformation wrought by pain
Born of hammer, born of flame
Born again with a new name
Arms made strong to bear the sword
Are first to bear the cross
Victory the true reward
Of those who learn from loss

Light me in the forge and forge me in the light
Teach my soul to stand, my soul to stand and fight
(I) Steel myself to test the steel that’s burning bright
Teach my soul to stand, my soul to stand and fight
Oh my soul to stand and fight

And all that burns away was never meant to stay

Scorched and tortured into shape
With every strike the hammer makes
A living weapon, loathe to fate
So stick me back into the blaze

Sharpen the edge of my defense
Scars will forget the blood they’ve bled
So bleed
Bleed

Light me in the forge and forge me in the light
Teach my soul to stand, my soul to stand and fight
(I) Steel myself to test the steel that’s burning bright
Teach my soul to stand, my soul to stand and fight
Oh my soul to stand and fight

TIL
by AfterWake

AfterWake is one of the dopest up-and-coming prog bands in Toronto, and we've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them. TIL is melodic, bouncy, groovy, and emotional in all the right ways. KOZEN

ACTION POTENTIAL
by POLARITY

Polarity are veterans in the Toronto prog & rock scene and they've been like our older siblings - we've played with them more than any other band. Proggy, melodic, and powerful. KOZEN

Arrowheads
by Arrowheads

Arrowheads are our brothers from Quebec. We toured with their old band We Throw Flowers back in 2017, and their new project delivers undeniable metalcore/post-hardcore greatness. KOZEN
