OBEY THE BRAVE LYRICS

1. Short Fuse

It goes on and on.
Man, the beat goes on.
Short fuse. Short fuse.
Decimate everything in sight
I don't give a fuck if I'm wrong or right
Gonna make you sweat til you bleed
I wash my hands with the blood of my enemies
I'm seeing red, got a few loose screws
Trapped inside my head, short fuse.
Back off cause I will bite
Ain't going without a fight
No way out, gloves on, it's a title bout
Lace up, throw your fists up and shout.
Fear the scythe. Back off cause I will bite.
Ain't going out without a fight.
It goes on and on man, the beat goes on.
Short fuse. Short fuse.
Still here, still staying strong
I don't give a fuck if I'm right or wrong: no.
I said it before, I'll say it again
All I need is my girl and my friends.
I'm seeing red, got a few loose screws.
Trapped inside my head, short fuse.
Short fuse.

2. Raise Your Voice

I will remain (undefeated)
A new reign, at the top of the food chain
I will remain (undefeated)
Never back out cause they get what I'm about
I will remain (undefeated)

Go ahead, and do your best
There's fire in my head, condition in my chest
I'll defend with this lactic aid
Keep running your mouth, I won't lose sleep

All call, I'll rise on the tip of your tongue
No one, your song shall be left unsung
Freedom like my own choice
Wide awake, I'll raise my voice

So raise your voice, raise your voice
And open fight to never let up
We're living it up, won't ever let up
So raise your voice, raise your voice
And open fight to never let up
And if I fall I'll rise back up

I will remain (undefeated)
A new reign, at the top of the food chain
I will remain (undefeated)
Never back out cause they get what I'm about
I will remain (undefeated)

Real to, bring you one more time
Walls I'll break through, mountains I'll climb
Those sheep, but my actions speak
Keep spreading lies, you act like sheep

All call, I'll rise on the tip of your tongue
No one, your song shall be left unsung
Freedom like my own choice
Wide awake, I'll raise my voice

So raise your voice, raise your voice
And open fight to never let up
We're living it up, won't ever let up
So raise your voice, raise your voice
And open fight to never let up
And if I fall I'll rise back up

Alright alright alright
Oh oh oh, pointing fingers with dirty hands
Oh oh oh, pulling triggers, no backup plans
Cause spitting venom, I've got the antidote
I will sink your boat, you'll sink like teeth in your throat
Oh oh oh, I will never stop

So raise your voice, raise your voice
And open fight to never let up
We're living it up, won't ever let up
So raise your voice, raise your voice
And open fight to never let up
And if I fall I'll rise back up

I will remain (undefeated)
I will remain (undefeated)
I will remain (undefeated)

3. Up In Smoke

Back on the chain until it breaks
The same story, same mistakes
Another toke, another dime
Gone up in smoke, just one more time

When will I ever learn?
Light up my sorrow, watch it burn

The higher I go, the bigger the fall
The closer we get, the less I need you all
I said it before and yet I stumbled again
Will my head hit the floor or will I make amends?

Up in smoke
The same story; shame and glory
A struggling man still in his prime
Gone up in smoke, just one more time

When will I ever learn?
Light up my sorrow, watch it burn

The higher I go, the bigger the fall
The closer we get, the less I need you all
I said it before and yet I stumbled again
Will my head hit the floor or will I make amends?

But my heart says No! No! No!
That’s it, I’ve had it
I’m breaking the habit
A bit late for a clean slate
I need to relieve my stress
Oh yes but my heart says No! No! No!

Get back in the groove,
Before I lose my mind
No mountain I can’t move
No mountain I can’t climb

I’ve got something to prove
I’ll withstand the heat
No mountain I can’t move
Never accept defeat

No mountain I can’t move
Never accept defeat
Out, cut it out
I’ll withstand the heat
Out, cut it out
Never accept defeat

Up in smoke
The same story; blaze of glory
Free my head from all this grime
Gone up in smoke, just one more time

When will I ever learn?
Light up my sorrow, watch it burn

The higher I go, the bigger the fall
The closer we get, the less I need you all
I said it before and yet I stumbled again
Will my head hit the floor or will I make amends?

But my heart says No! No! No!
That’s it, I’ve had it
I’m breaking the habit
A bit late for a clean slate
I need to relieve my stress
Oh yes but my heart says No! No! Fuck No!

4. Into The Storm

I'm marching onward into the storm.
Black clouds, red skies. A vision of my world's demise.
In every smile, a desperate cry.
Should I keep on or let hope die?
When it rains it pours. When it rains it pours.
A never ending self-reform.
I'm marching onward into the storm.
One life, one love gotta do it right.
Rise above, step into that light.
Just let it go and take flight.
Let it rain, let it wash away the pain.
Strength, I'll regain.
I'm marching onward into the storm.
Clenched fist, closed eyes.
The reaper marches in disguise.
A haunting voice inside my head
That keeps on wishing I was dead.
When it rains it pours. When it rains it pours.
A never ending self-reform.
I'm marching onward into the storm.
One life, one love gotta do it right.
Rise above, step into that light.
Just let it go and take flight.
Let it rain, let it wash away the pain.
Strength, I'll regain.
Back in control, I will never fold.
From cold soul to heart of gold!
Ups and downs, I slipped.
Lost my grip and I fell.
I fell down knee deep in hell.
Ups and downs, I picked myself up.
Always kept my head up.
Through the ups and downs, I'll head northbound.
Stand tall. Stand your ground.
Through the ups and downs, I'll head northbound.
Stand tall. Stand your ground.
Through the ups and downs, turn it around.
My thoughts are turning black.
Can't give in, can't hold back.
Struggling within, one more panic attack.
I will face my fears, there will be no tears.
This is my legacy! This is my bravery!
 

5. Next Level

Steps away from my goal,
On to the next level
Keep it under control,
On to the next level

Never laying low
So many places to go
Never fall behind
We live for the grind

Around the world,
Always ready to ride
Just say the word,
We’ll be out on the roadside

We walk through sand and snow
We just go with the flow

Here today, gone tomorrow
My life is played to a different tempo
Here today, gone tomorrow
I’ll pave the way, I will never follow

Nothing can hold me down, slow me down
I’m on a roll
Keep it under control,
On to the next level
It’s in my blood
It’s in my soul
Never laying low
So many places to go

Jumping from city to city,
C’est la belle vie
We walk through sand and snow
We just go with the flow

Here today, gone tomorrow
My life is played to a different tempo
Here today, gone tomorrow
I’ll pave the way, I will never follow

Steps away from my goal,
On to the next level

Go with the flow
World traveler,
A modern day rebel
I’ll push it further,
On to the next level

Go with the flow
We stand together
We’ll make it through the struggle
I’ll push it further,
On to the next level

Around the world,
Always ready to ride
Just say the word,
We’ll be out on the roadside

We walk through sand and snow
We just go with the flow

Here today, gone tomorrow
My life is played to a different tempo
Here today, gone tomorrow
I’ll pave the way, I will never follow

Keep it under control,
On to the next level
Never laying low
So many places to go

6. Back In The Day

Those were the teenage years
Swimming laps at the pool
Getting high, trading tapes, playing drums after school
Then I hung up my skates, toured the United States
Life in a van, on a plane, playing shows with the greats

Go! Go!
We can’t live in the past
Go! Go!
But still we make it last
Go! Go!
We found what we stood for

Remember back in the day?
It was all good
We followed our own way but no one understood
It was all fun and games
We did our own thing
Against the grain

Remember back in the day?
It was all good
We followed our own way but no one understood
It was all fun and games
We did our own thing
Against the grain

Those were the wonder years
Finally got my degree
Sipping drinks, dating chicks, 2 year MVP
But then I changed my ways, turned it upside down
My turn to get played; Felt like a fucking clown

Remember back in the day?
It was all good
We followed our own way but no one understood
It was all fun and games
We did our own thing
Against the grain

Remember back in the day?
It was all good
We followed our own way but no one understood
It was all fun and games
We did our own thing
Against the grain

Where have you gone my long lost friends?
Where have you gone my long lost friends?
Back then we said that it would be ‘til the end
Where have you gone my long lost friends?

Remember back in the day?
It was all good
We followed our own way but no one understood
It was all fun and games
We did our own thing
Against the grain

Remember back in the day?
It was all good
We followed our own way but no one understood
It was all fun and games
We did our own thing
Against the grain

Where have you gone my long lost friends?
Back then we said that it would be ‘til the end
Where have you gone my long lost friends?

7. I Am Winter

Light up my soul

So cold
“Closed off” from what I’ve been told

Slow down
Eyes up on the crown
Don’t blink; Come around

Think twice
Or you may find yourself on thin ice

Slow down
Eyes up on the crown
Don’t blink; Come around

Once found but now I’m lost
Buried inside, an eternal frost; So cold
An all time low
Hindering my plan,
The Ills of Modern Man
An all time low
Nowhere to go...

Nowhere to go but up from here
Quit your complaining
Just take it slow
Go on, have no fear
It’ll all be clear

Nowhere to go but up
Nowhere to go but up
Just take it slow
Look up, just let it snow

In vain
Attempts to silence the pain

Slow down
Eyes up on the crown
Don’t blink; Come around

From high hopes to heavy hearts
Never tear apart

Once found but now I’m lost
Buried inside, an eternal frost; So cold
An all time low
Nowhere to go...

Nowhere to go but up from here
Quit your complaining
Just take it slow
Go on, have no fear
It’ll all be clear

Nowhere to go but up
Nowhere to go but up
Just take it slow
Let it snow

Pull yourself together for good
Pull yourself together and...
Never look back or down again
Never again
Light up my soul

Nowhere to go but up from here
Quit your complaining
Just take it slow
Go on, have no fear
It’ll all be clear

Nowhere to go but up
Nowhere to go but up
Just take it slow
Look up, just let it snow

I am winter, snow and ice
No joy, no paradise
I wasted my last chance
Make way for the avalanche
I am winter, cold as ice
No joy, just sacrifice

8. Lone Wolf

I follow my own code

Back at it again
Another day, far away from home
No matter where I stay
No matter where I roam
Homesick every now and then
Divide the boys from the men
Back at it again

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
Got the upper hand
Never under command

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
I’ll keep running
I’ll keep slipping away

Live for the kill
No standing still
Go! Go! Go!

Life on the road
I owe nothing
I follow my own code

Back at it again

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
Got the upper hand
Never under command

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
You can’t cage a king
You can’t clip my wings
Lone Wolf

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
I’ll keep running
I’ll keep slipping away

Live for the kill
No standing still
Go! Go! Go!

Life on the road
I owe nothing
I follow my own code

Stand back ‘cause I may bite
Never ever backing out, not without a fight
Stand back
Lone Wolf comes out at night
Hunts out of sight

Go it alone
Go it alone
I’ll stay true to my boys; my own

Go it alone
Go it alone
Into the unknown

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
Got the upper hand
Never under command

Lonesome, I stand
I am Lone Wolf
I’ll keep running
I’ll keep slipping away

Live for the kill
No standing still
Go! Go! Go!

Life on the road
I owe nothing
I follow my own code
I follow my own code

9. C'est La Vie

C’est la vie

Peu d’alliés, plusieurs ennemis
L’amour me fuit, la mort me suit
C’est la vie

Tellement de cruauté
Je refuse d’y contribuer
C’est la vie

J’observe tout en silence
Notre monde m’inspire peu confiance

À la vie, à la mort
Je suis maître de mon sort
Vies un jour à la fois
Surtout fais preuve de sang-froid

À la vie, à la mort
Je suis maître de mon sort
Ne baisse jamais les bras
Prépare toi au combat

C’est la vie

J’aiguise mon instinct de survie
L’humour me fuit, la peine me suit
C’est la vie

Tellement de méchanceté
Je refuse d’être manipulé
C’est la vie

J’observe tout en silence
Notre monde m’inspire peu confiance

À la vie, à la mort
Je suis maître de mon sort
Vies un jour à la fois
Surtout fais preuve de sang-froid

À la vie, à la mort
Je suis maître de mon sort
Ne baisse jamais les bras
Prépare toi au combat
C’est la vie

Marche droit devant

Rien ne peut m’arrêter
Le bien l’emporte sur l’anxiété
Marche tout droit vers l’avant
Jusqu’au soleil levant

En avant, en avant
Marche droit devant
Face à toute oppression, angoisse et dépression

En avant, en avant
Marche droit devant
Face à toute oppression; Sans résiliation

À la vie, à la mort
Je suis maître de mon sort
Vies un jour à la fois
Surtout fais preuve de sang-froid

À la vie, à la mort
Je suis maître de mon sort
Ne baisse jamais les bras
Prépare toi au combat

10. Full Circle

Listen up
We've never met, yet our worlds connect
I'll never forgive, never forget

I'll save you the speech
I'll spare you the drama
But I can promise you one thing: Karma

What goes around, comes around
You'll get what you deserve
Your fate is sealed
You've got some nerve
Feel the pain that's buried inside
You can run but you can't hide

You can run and hide in the shadow
But make no mistake, you reap what you sow
Make no mistake, you reap what you sow
There's no escaping the cycle
Better watch your back; Full Circle

I'll save you the speech
I'll spare you the drama
But I can promise you one thing: Karma

What goes around, comes around
Retribution awaits
Your fate is sealed
You're done, checkmate
Feel the pain that's buried inside
You can run but you can't hide

You can run and hide in the shadow
But make no mistake, you reap what you sow
Make no mistake, you reap what you sow
There's no escaping the cycle
Better watch your back; Full Circle
Better watch your back; Full Circle

The innocent, we mourn
Vengeance is sworn

Time to sound the horn
Vengeance is sworn

Wounds heal but the scars remain
In the end, you'll kneel
Your pain is my gain
Torn within
Bare a crown of thorns
The innocent, we mourn
Vengeance is sworn

Feel the pain that's buried inside
You can run but you can't hide

You can run and hide in the shadow
But make no mistake, you reap what you sow
Make no mistake, make no mistake
One day, the tables will turn
I'll celebrate as I watch you burn
There's no escaping the cycle
Better watch your back; Full Circle

I'll save you the speech
I'll spare you the drama
But I can promise you one thing: Karma

11. North Strong

My back is sore but I’m standing straight
Better build my core; Better pull my weight
My mind’s running but I’m standing still
Despair is no match for my Iron Will

My Iron Will

Mind, body and soul
Step it up, work towards that goal

North Strong
Not a slave to my physical flaws
All I had I gave
No time to quit or pause

North Strong
Not a flake
Not a stick in the mud
It’s either make or break
Forever Young Blood

It’s either make or break
No matter what it takes
It’s either do or die
I’m going sky high

My neck is weak but I’m staring straight
Better reach my peak; Step up to that plate
My heart’s racing but I’m standing still
Despair is no match for my Iron Will

Blood, sweat and tears
Keep it up, after all these years

North Strong
Not a flake
Not a stick in the mud
It’s either make or break
Forever Young Blood

It’s either make or break
No matter what it takes
It’s either do or die
I’m going sky high

Feel the noose tight around my neck
Gasping for air, I’m nervous wreck; Hold on
Feel the sting sliding down my spine
I can barely sing; faulty by design

My back is sore but I’m standing straight
Better build my core; better pull my weight

Flesh, blood and bones
Rip it up, keep my head in the zone

North Strong
Not a flake
Not a stick in the mud
It’s either make or break
Forever Young Blood

It’s either make or break
No matter what it takes
It’s either do or die
I’m going sky high

Carry the weight
Pick up the slack
Don’t wait,
Stay ahead of the pack

It’s either make or break
No matter what it takes
It’s either do or die
I’m going sky high

12. Brave The Fire

What’s going on? Where do we stand?
I stayed up ‘til dawn, trying to understand
So many questions left unanswered
Should I move on or push things forward?

And every day hurts the same
Still the fire burns
I see through smoke and flames
Let’s lay a new foundation to build upon
Let’s find the strength to carry on

Heart of a Lion, captured by few
Grace of a Feline, stunning and true
Every day I’m feeling blue
But every day I make it through

It’s time to let go to keep you near
Try to wait for the smoke to clear
Every day I’m feeling blue
Don’t let me get over you

Be sure to know what your stance is
No second chances
I’m done with romances

Can’t lay a new foundation when trust is gone
I’ll go my way, I’m moving on

Heart of a Lion, captured by few
Grace of a Feline, stunning and true
Every day I’m feeling blue
But every day I make it through

It’s time to let go to keep you near
Try to wait for the smoke to clear
Every day I’m feeling blue
Don’t let me get over you

Brave the fire
Brave the fire

Burning bright, vision for the blind
Out of sight, never out of mind
Shedding light on what’s left behind
Out of sight, never out of mind
Heart of a Lion, captured by few
Grace of a Feline, stunning and true
Every day I’m feeling blue
But every day I make it through

It’s time to let go to keep you near
Try to wait for the smoke to clear
Every day I’m feeling blue
Fuck it, I’m over you

Never thought I’d see the day
Never thought I’d walk away
Never thought this day would come
I’ll turn the page, I’ll overcome
