Letra de Hard like a warrior

To be a hero
To be the man
You been burnin´ since your journey began
Hot with the fever
For sacrifice
When your daddy put that stick to you
He measured precisely

You found a woman
You met her need
When the moon was right you gave her your seed
You built a castle
The children came
Now it´s don´t let up and don´t let down
You´re makin´ a name son
Every mornin´ when you slay the dragon
Another dragon roars
Who ever wins these dragon wars?

Hard like a warrior
Guarding your domain
Slowly goin´ insane
Does the voice of forgiveness speak to you in vain?

The beast keeps comin´
He always will
Driven by that hunger to kill
Your heart is poundin´
His eyes are ice
When he rises up to take you down
You measure precisely
Knowin´ where his throat must open
By the blade of cunning
You show your steel and then it´s done

Hard like a warrior
Gleaming in the light
Weary now of the fight
May the voice of forgiveness speak in you tonight

You lost your sweet mother when you were four
She was gonna get better till some stranger closed the door
She came to call you in a dream one night
Boy of mine I see you reelin´
It´s just not right
You believe the Land of Mercy is a far-off place
And you run and run and run and run in a never-ending race
What I pray you will discover is the state of grace
That is no further away from you than your daughter´s face

(Say goodbye to my lizard, dad - I´m letting him go)

Every mornin´ when you slay the dragon
Another dragon smiles
These dragon teeth go on a million miles

Hard like a warrior
Guarding your domain
Too far gone to complain
Will the voice of forgiveness lead you from your pain?
Break this ball and chain?
Or will it always call to you in vain?
