My boy, look down
At the dirt beneath your boots
Before the steel, before the steam, before the roots
You see a stone, cold and grey and still
I see a furnace waiting for the fire of your will
The world is chaos, tangled and undefined
But there is logic sleeping in the quiet of your mind
It starts with one swing, one spark, one lonely belt
Itโs the heaviest burden that a man has ever felt
To take the nothing, and make it hum with life
So build it strong, but let it break
There is no failure, only the next step that you take
When the iron buckles and the copper lines decay
Listen to the friction, hear what the bottlenecks say
The machine will hunger, the factory must grow
But the strongest alloy is the patience that you show
Yeah, the gear will turn if the spirit stays true
The only limit on the map... is you
There will be nights the sky turns angry red
When the walls are shaking and the monsters want you dead
Youโll trace the circuit, looking for the flaw
In the cold, hard silence of a universal law
Don't fear the spaghetti, don't fear the messy start
Perfection is a lie that stops the beating of your heart
Be open to the change, tear the whole thing down
If a better way, a smarter way, is waiting to be found
Adapt or rust, son, thatโs the engineerโs creed
So build it strong, but let it break
There is no failure, only the next step that you take
When the iron buckles and the copper lines decay
Listen to the friction, hear what the bottlenecks say
The machine will hunger, the factory must grow
But the strongest alloy is the patience that you show
Yeah, the gear will turn if the spirit stays true
The only limit on the map... is you
And one day, youโll look up from the assembly line
Past the smog and the smoke, where the satellites shine
You arenโt building cages, you arenโt building bars
You are building a ladder to reach for the stars
So dream of the rocket, dream of the flight
Burn the oil of your passion to push back the night
Keep the ratio perfect
(Keep the ratio perfect)
Keep the vision clear, Iโve laid the foundation
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
But you are the Engineer
