Rules of Conviction - First Blood

Time fades everything with painful certainty

Remember when we used to fight for something

Because I refuse to be taken so easily

Or to believe that this was all for nothing

One by one by one pieces begin to fall

It’s got you thinking nothing lasts forever

What you still feel inside, simply can’t be denied

So take the step because this is now or never

Stone by stone by stone we build this back again

To when we used to fucking stand for something

So after all these years, the blood, the sweat, the tears

I won’t forget respect for those who remain…

Loyal… Loyal to the grave

You remained loyal… Loyal to the grave

After all you’ve done you remained

Loyal… Loyal to the grave

In the face of the wrath of sanity

Loyal… Loyal to the grave

After all you’ve done you still stayed

Loyal… Loyal to the grave

Across the world, the fierce opposition

Outnumbered, but maintained position

Day after day, imminent confrontation

Stay on message, the true motivation

Now!

Always persistent!

In the face of this constant resistance

Paving the way while your allies diminish

Seeing it through, to the end, to the finish

For those who remain…

Loyal… Loyal to the grave

You’ve remained loyal… Loyal to the grave

Are you sure?

I am sure!

Are you sure?

I am sure!

I am sure as the blood runs through my veins

For the ones who stood by me

And the ones who paved my way

Are you sure?

I am sure of it!

Sure as the blood runs through my veins!

For the ones who still believe

And the ones who gave everything

Are you sure?

I am sure of it!

Sure as the blood runs through my veins!

For the ones who still remain

These beliefs will never fade…

These beliefs will never fucking fade!

Conviction!

This is my conviction!

Can’t break my conviction!

Can’t take my conviction!
