Drums count silent circles in the dust
Etched in flesh the quiet tally grows
Morning bleeds through iron-tinted haze
Calloused breath in synchronized repose
Every step refines the hidden blaze
Scar by scar we map the climb
Beat by beat we temper bone
Sweat becomes a measured chime
Carving pathways into stone
Threads of sinew tremor, pull, and mend
Friction feeds the ember’s patient glow
Rhythms coil, contract, ascend
Muscle writes the vow we sow
Veins remember metronomes
Echoes lead the final run
Scar by scar we map the climb
Beat by beat we temper bone
Clockwork hearts align in time
Shaping strength we claim as our own
Silence stamps the last command
