Self raised, self made 
Nothing was ever handed to me 
I tasted pain, the gutter hugged me 
Til I stood up and embraced the flame 

Always pushing, always searching 
Always crossing the line 
Try to hold me back 
I swing the hammer of inner strength 

Always, always, always the hard way 
Nothing, nothing, nothing was ever handed to me 
Always, always, always the hard way
You taught me [bad word]  you gave me strength 
I learned everything the hard way 

Helpless and crisis 
Without them you never know better days 
Unsound, selfbound 
Cause you never had to fight for anything

Always pushing, always searching 
Always crossing the line 
Try to hold me back 
I swing the hammer of inner strength

Always, always, always the hard way 
Nothing, nothing, nothing was ever handed to me 
Always, always, always the hard way
You taught me [bad word]  you gave me strength 
I learned everything the hard way 

Always the hard way
Always the hard way
Always the hard way
ALWAYS THE HARD WAY

..the hard way
 I learnded everything
..the hard way
 I learnded everything
..the hard way
Nothing was ever handed to me
..the hard way
