Lyrics: The fire never dies
Some men are born to follow.
Some men are born to lead.
And some men face the darkness…
AND STILL REFUSE TO BLEED OUT.
This is for a man who never gave up.
This is for a warrior called WIM!
### VERSE 1 — A life built on iron
Years of lifting, years of pain, Through every loss, he rose again. Early mornings, endless days, Forging strength in a thousand ways.
Master Two, but his fire burns young, A heart of iron, a warrior’s lungs. He doesn’t just lift, he teaches the way, Building up others, day after day.
When others look for an easy road, He shoulders the weight, he carries the load. A coach, a fighter, a man who stands tall, Showing the world you can rise after every fall.
### PRE-CHORUS — When the darkness came
Then came a battle no barbell could measure, A moment that tested his strength beyond pressure. A brain left wounded, a road unknown, But deep in his heart, the fire still shone.
The world held its breath, the future unclear, But the spirit of a fighter refused to disappear.
### CHORUS — STILL STANDING!
WIM! WIM! — STILL STANDING TALL! WIM! WIM! — YOU ANSWER THE CALL! Through the darkest night, through the hardest fight, YOU KEEP THAT FIRE BURNING BRIGHT!
IRON IN YOUR HANDS! FIRE IN YOUR SOUL! A WARRIOR’S HEART THAT WILL NEVER GROW COLD! Master Two, but a champion inside, WIM WAMSTEEKER — YOU RISE WITH PRIDE!
HEY! HEY! — STILL STANDING! HEY! HEY! — STILL STRONG! A LEGEND IS BUILT WHEN THE ROAD GETS LONG!
### VERSE 2 — The comeback
The road was different, the climb was steep, A fight that went deeper than the iron runs deep. Step after step, with patience and grit, He fought his way back, refusing to quit.
No easy answers, no guarantees, Just courage and passion through uncertainty. And when he returned to the barbell again, He showed what it means to rise through the pain.
Every kilo became more than a score, Every training session meant something more. Not just the weight, not just the win, But the strength of the man who refused to give in.
He coaches with passion, he leads by example, A living reminder of what strength can handle. He gives others belief when their own runs low, And shows them the way when they don’t know where to go.
### PRE-CHORUS 2 — A coach, a fighter, a guide
It’s not just the records that make him stand tall, It’s the hand that he offers to those who might fall. He knows that the battle is never just steel, It’s the heart that keeps fighting, the will that won’t kneel.
WIM! WIM! — STILL STANDING TALL! WIM! WIM! — YOU ANSWER THE CALL! Through the darkest night, through the hardest fight, YOU KEEP THAT FIRE BURNING BRIGHT!
IRON IN YOUR HANDS! FIRE IN YOUR SOUL! A WARRIOR’S HEART THAT WILL NEVER GROW COLD! Master Two, but a champion inside, WIM WAMSTEEKER — YOU RISE WITH PRIDE!
HEY! HEY! — STILL STANDING! HEY! HEY! — STILL STRONG! A LEGEND IS BUILT WHEN THE ROAD GETS LONG!
More than a lifter
You taught us that strength isn’t just what we raise, It’s how we keep moving through our darkest days.
It’s not never falling. It’s choosing to stand.
It’s reaching for others And offering your hand.
You are more than the kilos. More than the pain. More than the battles You’ve fought to remain.
And every lifter who stands by your side Carries a piece of your courage and pride.
YOU ARE THE PROOF! YOU ARE THE FIGHT! YOU ARE THE FIRE THAT OUTLIVES THE NIGHT!
The warrior returns
WIM! WIM! WIM! WIM!
A legend in the making
WIM! WIM! — STILL STANDING TALL! WIM! WIM! — YOU’VE GIVEN YOUR ALL! Through every setback, through every fight, YOU’VE SHOWN US THE POWER TO RISE TO THE LIGHT!
IRON IN YOUR HANDS! FIRE IN YOUR SOUL! A HEART THAT KEEPS FIGHTING, UNBROKEN AND BOLD! A coach, a fighter, a master of pride, WIM WAMSTEEKER — OUR HERO, OUR GUIDE!
HEY! HEY! — STILL STANDING! HEY! HEY! — STILL STRONG! YOUR PASSION WILL CARRY YOUR LEGACY ON!
MASTER TWO! — HEAR THE ROAR! WIM WAMSTEEKER! — FOREVER MORE!
Some people chase glory.
Some people chase fame.
But the greatest leave something That outlives their name.
A stronger team. A fighter’s heart. A legacy that never falls apart.
Een laatste diepe drumslag.
WIM WAMSTEEKER.
MORE THAN A COACH.
MORE THAN A FIGHTER.
AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL.
