The Hardest Way

(album: For The Love Of Metal - 2018)

You want a perfect ending
It's so hard to attain
And we've all got to learn
Something the hardest way
The answers are not always there
The stories are not always clear

Not all of us give
Not all of us take
Not all will truly live
Or be there when our sights regained

Step forward into the blinding light
If you dare look back it's your last time
We've all learned something
Step forward into the blinding light
If you dare look back it's your last time
It's your last time

We've all learned something
The hard way
The hardest way
We've all learned something
The hard way
The hardest way

This is about not knowing
And always having to change
Making the best of moments
That will test our strength
Without knowing what happens next
With courage taking the first step

Not all of us hate
Not all of us love
Not all will live to see
Just what our hardest days become

Step forward into the blinding fight
If you dare look back it's your last time
We've all learned something
Step forward into the blinding light
If you dare look back it's your last time
It's your last time

We've all learned something
The hard way
The hardest way
We've all learned something
The hard way
The hardest way

The time is here
Now we all must learn

The lessons learned
The scars we earned
Are not always all the ones we chose to
The bridges burned
The pages turned
They're not always the ones that we learn from

We've all learned something
The hard way
The hardest way
We've all learned something
The hard way
The hardest way
