Hardened by Consequence

Never again, never again
Inferior, a casualty of lesser men
Killing within, killing within
The part of me that died in vain
Born again awash in flames

Now hardened by consequence
Tempered alone, flesh and stone
Hardened by consequence
Adversity has made me what I am

The flood, it took you from me
I wept for the past to return
But never again

Hardened by consequence
Tempered alone, flesh and stone
Hardened by consequence
Integrity has made me what I am
