Lift it! - Vulkan Inspired Warhammer 40k Song

This song was born from the fire, both in Vulkan lore and the fire I constantly deal with for using AI in my work.

I’ve had my fair share of attacks, insults, and attempts at gatekeeping from people who think using AI makes my work "lesser." Instead of arguing for hours on end, I put that energy into my music instead.

"Lift It!" is a direct response, not just to the hate, but to the philosophy that strength isn’t given, it’s forged. What you do with it is up to you.

Inspired by the wisdom of Vulkan, this song is a tribute to craftsmanship, perseverance, and the idea that true power comes from the trials we endure.

This track is also to celebrate 40k subscribers on YouTube!

The support for my work, from Warhammer to D&D to original projects, has been incredible, and I couldn’t have done it without you all!

So whether you’re here for the lore, the music, or the message, this one’s for you!

Stay humble Salamanders! VULKAN LIVES!

Lyrics:

You stand before me, fists clenched in pride
Shouting strength is somethin' fate provides
But weapons made without the pain
Shatters, worthless, beneath the strain

A hammer alone is nothing
until you lift it!
Steel is but a whisper
until the forge has kissed it!

Fire shapes, fire bends
fire tempers, fire mends
Strength is not given, boy
You forge it in the end!

No fire burns forever
if it’s left to stand alone
No blade is ever sharpened
if it’s never felt the stone
Strength is not a birthright
nor a gift from kings or gods
It is the fire in your heart
that defies the odds
It is the pain of failure
the lessons from each scar
It is the anvil’s judgment
that speaks to who you are

Strike the iron, raise the pyre!
Cut the weakness, feed the fire!

A hammer alone is nothing
until you lift it!
Steel is but a whisper
until the forge has kissed it!

Fire shapes, fire bends
fire tempers, fire mends
Strength is not given, boy
you forge it in the end!

Have you not witnessed what fire yearns?
It does not pick who it warms or burns
It takes, it gives, it twists, it turns
And only those who wield it learn!

The forge gives nothing… it only offers the flame
What you make of that fire is yours alone to claim

A hammer alone is nothing
until you lift it!
Steel is but a whisper
until the forge has kissed it!

Fire shapes, fire bends
fire tempers, fire mends
Strength is not given, boy
you forge it in the end!
