From the ashes of defeat I rise
With fire in my heart and light in my eyes
Guided by the square with the compass in hand
I carve my path through this ancient land
I'm a Self-Made Man forged in flame
In the Lodge of Life I earned my name
No chains can bind no lies can sway
I'll forge my own fate come what may
I'm a Self-Made Man forged in flame
In the Lodge of Life I earned my name
No chains can bind no lies can sway
I'll forge my own fate come what may
In the darkness where secrets are sworn
By the Master's Word I was reborn
No one to guide but the symbols and signs
I built my life through the craft's designs
I'm a Self-Made Man forged in flame
In the Lodge of Life I earned my name
No chains can bind no lies can sway
I'll forge my own fate come what may
Come what may
Come what may
Through the pillars of strength I stand tall
With the Eye above watching us all
In the Temple of Light my soul's refined
A brotherhood's bond by the Grand Architect's design
I'm a Self-Made Man forged in flame
In the Lodge of Life I earned my name
No chains can bind no lies can sway
I'll forge my own fate come what may
So hear my roar see my fire
Under the All-Seeing Eye I never tire
I'm a Self-Made Man standing tall
In this sacred craft I'll take it all
I'll take it all
I'll take it all
I'll take it all
Come what may
