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
