A man of steel

Be a man with a man’s love in his strength

 Be a man made with truth when your back is up against

Be that man with his soul that he will bind

For this is a man that looks pass all the evil in his time

The intoxicating smells outside the true love in his mind

Is a basic test of pride and in his self this battle slowly grinds

It breaks down the light between his soul and his mind

And leaves a tail of emptiness fill of hurts left behind 

Always there are others, who stand on the road and by the side

They call to him but the intoxicating smells to do wrong is what keeps him blind

 My young and my wife are bound to this fate

Thank god, I saw the armour in their love though all my mistakes

And a life of happiness is only up to me to create

A man of steel

hello PRESS If only a man would be this. Line eight - should it be! And leaves a TRAIL of emptiness.... I saw the amour in their love through all my mistakes and a life of happiness is only up to me to create. These lines say it all my friend. Electric blue
