Our Ethos: A Legacy To Pass On

(album: This Will Be The Death Of Us - 2009)

Let's take it back.

Let's take it back to the start again,
When we didn't have an outline in our heads.
When we only had a show to motivate us,
Keep us far from trouble.
Keep us guarded.
Simple words with a deeper meaning.
Something to relate to that we could call our own.
Lasting values of the generations who were here before us,
Now we must carry on.

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.

I found a name for what I am.
I was searching, trying to figure out why I did not belong.
It separates me from the rest
As the only thing that I identify with and I am still hear to say it!

I am never alone.
THIS IS A PLACE TO CALL OUR OWN.

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
The time is now to stand, be proud.
We all are part of something more.
Our ethos, don't let it go.
Don't let it....

When there is no one there to hear you the music will listen,
And when there's no one there to tell the words will write themselves.
So you say that this is trapping me. Yeah, and maybe I agree,
But there are ways in which I'm free that you will never be.

[Chad Gilbert:]
Been around long enough by now to know I see things differently than most.
But here, like-minded souls surround and I found a name for what I've always been.
So come with me if you feel what I feel.
We'll turn these words into something real.
Follow these footsteps, come into your own.
You'll never walk alone. We'll never walk alone!

SO COME WITH US IF YOU FEEL WHAT WE FEEL.
WE'LL TURN THESE WORDS INTO SOMETHING REAL.
FOLLOW OUR FOOTSTEPS, COME INTO YOUR OWN.
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE. WE'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
The time is now to stand, be proud.
We all are part of something more.
Our ethos, don't let it go.
Don't let it....

Let's take it back.

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
