Driven Hard Songtext
von Gomorrah

My dreams are not my master
My thoughts are not my aim
Triumph balanced with disaster
Two imposters, one and the same

I have heard the truth has spoken
Twisted now and trapped for fools
I have had my life so broken
To start again with what I′m told
Held my wings in one hand
And risked them on a single horse
I'll lose at start and my beginning
Never tell about my loss
About my loss


Driven hard, mind, heart and body
When all is gone
Held on still, even tighter
To my will, which screams to me, "Hold on"
I′ve kept my hands when those around me
Were losing theirs on me they blame
Trust myself when others doubt me
And while they're doubting, all they've seen

Driven hard, mind, heart and soul
To the point when all is whole

Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world
Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world

I have waited and not grown bored
Lied about, nor dealt in lies
Softer than me, but I am not them
Done acting good, nor talked to lies
Talked with crowds and kept my virtue
A common touch
Friend nor foe could never hurt me
All they count with me, but none too much


I fill each and every hour
With sixteen minutes of distance run
Knowing that no man can touch me
Gazing straight into the sun
Mine is the world and all within

And which is more of a man, my soul

Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world
Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world

Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world
Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world

Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world
Driven hard, my heart
Driven hard, my soul
Driven hard is the way that I see this world
