It's a way of life
It's what holds us together
We're all part of this
It will stay forever
It's a way of life
It's what holds us together
We believe in this
It will stay forver
-hardcore-
Thinking back to when we
Started out back in '94
I remember what it meant to us
And what we stood for
The years have passed us by
But we still feel the same way
The flame's still burning strong
Inside of us
