**NOTE: These lyrics are incomplete, but were all that were available to us at time of the album's release - JFH
Pioneers will,
get the arrows
But you know now
that’s where you’ll find me
Won’t stop striving
can’t stop working
You know I’ll be
known at the gates
[*Missing verse*]
OH YEAH NOW
BRING IT ON TO ME
OH YEAH NOW
BRING YOUR SKULL TO ME
OH YEAH NOW
COME AND GET ME
OH YEAH NOW
BRING YOUR SKULL TO ME
[*Missing verse*]
It's the weak who
Need to hear yes
Your confusion
Cripples me
Drink it in now
Live the moment
You are children
In a land of men
There’s no ties now
There’s no binding
Try as you might
You can’t hold me back anymore
[*Missing verse*]
For so long I’ve dreamt of this moment
It couldn’t come soon enough
I’d stay awake and dream
And replay every word you said you mean
For so long I’ve wanted for this
And now it’s finally here
Behind the Song:This song has more stories than I care to share here, but three stand out. I had no idea that this song was going to be recorded until I got in the studio with Aaron Sprinkle to record vocals. I knew Christian liked it, but didn’t know that everyone had voted it on the record.
The original demo was actually me just yelling words from a book I was reading at the time and was originally titled ‘The decapitation of Dennis P. while he is trying to think for a second time’.
In light of the above I wrote (the majority of the) lyrics & sang this the last day of recording. I could have spent more time on melody lines and lyrics but for me it was punk rock at its finest. This song was not going to be a ‘single’ nor was it going to be the standout track on the record so I just let it happen. - Stephen Christian
