[Verse 1] Empty disk awaits your craft, partition tables clean and bare No package manager to save you, just source code everywhere Download kernel archives, glibc binutils too Seven point four handbook guides you through what pirates do [Chorus] Bootstrap first, then chroot inside Temporary tools to cross divide Compile twice, the LFS way Minimal kernel runs today Bootstrap, chroot, compile, deploy Build your Linux from the void [Verse 2] Cross-compiler breaks the chain, host system left behind Target architecture speaking languages undefined Static linking temporary, shared libraries come later GCC becomes your closest friend and faithful translator [Chorus] Bootstrap first, then chroot inside Temporary tools to cross divide Compile twice, the LFS way Minimal kernel runs today Bootstrap, chroot, compile, deploy Build your Linux from the void [Bridge] Pass one builds the toolchain Pass two builds it clean again Chapter six the real magic starts When temporary becomes permanent parts [Verse 3] Bash and coreutils awakening, filesystem hierarchy blooms Init scripts and network stacks filling empty rooms No desktop, no graphics card, just text and blinking cursor Every byte you understand makes debugging so much surer [Chorus] Bootstrap first, then chroot inside Temporary tools to cross divide Compile twice, the LFS way Minimal kernel runs today Bootstrap, chroot, compile, deploy Build your Linux from the void [Outro] From scratch you built the whole machine Know every process in between The cleanest system ever seen Your handcrafted Linux dream
