lyrics
I made a promise to myself to never let it slide,
No matter what life throws my way.
Pushing and pushing one day at a time,
I will roll up my sleeves and go against the tide.
Focused and curious I keep an open heart and mind,
This fire in my heart, it is keeping me alive.
I hold it like a torch to light my way,
Live and learn from my mistakes, I have seen the light of day.
I will go the distance for those who went astray,
The footsteps laid before me have sent me the other way.
I had rather beat my own path.
I had rather beat my own path than follow the misled,
Roaming along blindly, living like their dead.
I am a father, a husband, a brother and a son,
A role model to my children, I would never wrong.
All the loved ones gone lost to addiction,
My aim is true and strong, I will always carry on.
I hold it like a torch to light my way,
Live and learn from past mistakes, I have got to seize the day.
I had rather beat my own path.

Passionate, urgent hardcore with a message that has been absent from the scene for far too long. This is the album that we've all been waiting for for many, many years. Sunfall
