My Name in the Flame

[KATSKI]:

Morning breaks, the fires rise,

Another day beneath the skies—

Well, not the sky, but close enough,

When you've got iron, flame, and stuff!

I've got a hammer, I've got heat,

I've got the fastest hands you'll meet!

Every spark that leaves my stone

Says I'm destined for a throne!

[DWARF SMITHS;spoken]:

He's got a temper!

[KATSKI]:

I've got a talent!

DWARF SMITHS;spoken]:

He never listens!

[KATSKI;spoken]:

That's irrelevant!

[KATSKI]:

Let the furnace roar,

Let the anvils ring,

I'll make the mountain shake

With every thing I bring!

I'll bend the steel,

I'll tame the flame,

And when the greatest smiths are named—

Remember who was standing there

When everybody knew my name!

[KATSKI]:

I'm not here to be second-best,

I'm not here to take a rest!

When the final hammer falls,

I'll be greatest of them all!

[ENSEMBLE]:

The greatest smith!

[KATSKI;spoken]:

That's right!

[ENSEMBLE]:

The greatest smith!

[KATSKI;spoken]:

You heard me!

[KATSKI + ENSEMBLE]:

When the mountain lights the night,

And the sparks begin to fly,

There'll be one name burning brighter—

[KATSKI]:

Mine!
