1.
This is my ambition Passion for the heart of a brother A friend that will reach out Even when I turn my back Blood brothers forever true Look into my eyes and tell me that you're willing to die Standing firm on the bond between our bones Burden bearers until the end Sailors with a deathwish Blood brothers forever true Never leave a man behind Even in the rising tide I am your brother, I am your friend Let's build this ship together Blood sweat and tears Through all these years

Stronghold 01:18
Bending the iron bars Leading pride to its grave Steadfast in integrity Flooding foundations with sincerity Remove the root Stronghold with no strength Remove the root Stronghold with no defence
3.
I need the patience of the sea Saving me from heavy breathing. I want to stand the test of time With these worn and calloused hands of mine When the mountain crumbles down Its going to push you to the edge Stand back and take it like a man Clench your fists and run for cover Broken teeth and perverted speech never got me far Will I sink or swim if I decide to wait it out Drifting in the shallows Choking on the choices Be brave and face the waves Stand strong, no regrets Don't be afraid of making mistakes Just take a deep breath And jump down head first You'll make it out alive
4.
Captive 00:29
How do I know that I am free? Just because I'm not behind steel bars or that I've made peace with my enemies? Then why do I still feel bound up? A piece of me feels trapped even with an endless ocean breathing in front of me I haven't found freedom because everything around me has its time to live and has its time to die So freedom seems to have its time with me too as I decay to my end We will always have a master and no one can escape
5.
Slaves 01:06
We are not born to destroy Taking for the sake to survive Counterfeit souls looking for a home Digging graves for a house of slaves Cowards turn their backs on hope I will not run away from this. Every second we must persevere Pushing forward has a true reward Victory in consistency Building bridges to take us home
6.
Soul Greed 02:38
Bite into my flesh and see what I'm worth But I will refuse to become Part of your world You will pay for every cent that you kept away from humble hands Crooked words and hours on repeat You're a slave to your own empire so watch it crumble Your spine is covered in slime You've got soul greed Take your money thief Feed your need Take your money thief Feed your need You're not the cure You're the disease Labour in vain, oppress the pain As it all burns to the ground You've got soul greed

about

"Fighting for what you believe in will come at a cost. There will be pain along the way. You will think hard and for some time about your actions and realize that the choices you make will have an impact on the people around you. You will face the greed of society and witness a new kind of slavery. There is no such thing as freedom of speech and true brotherly love will take strain. Breaking bad habits, addictions and attitudes will require some blood, sweat and tears but in the end every wound we receive will be worth it if we remember why we keep getting up."
