The Hard Man

There are times in a mans life when he knows he's the best
This is the time his mind and body are undoubtedly the hardest

He's focused more then ever on the tasks at hand
Making him shown as one hard man

When he endures punishment both physically and mentally
Showing his primal side in the face of his enemy

His heart pumps in a rapid course
Disregarding his weakness showing no remorse

A time when all his beliefs become fully released
Unleashing his rage like a caged beast

Precision and finesse in his movements are revealed 
When gauging his trespasses on the battle field 

Beaten, stabbed, ridiculed and humiliated are his burdens 
During his youth as a streetwalking urchin

Bearing and strength come as and easy action
When dealing with pain of any faction.

To this my friend is a hard, hard man
Living in a kingdom of a unruly land
