Lone Wolves United 02:20
lyrics
buy track
Proudly calling yourself black sheep But you're just sacrificial lambs Black sheep are still sheep Locked into the same pen We are not the same We transcend this plane They call us insane As we bear the burden of the growing pains. We are wolves We are wolves We are wolves We are wolves Outsiders in a world of outsiders Making our own tracks Forever moving forward Never looking back We're not square pegs in round holes We are the Enlightened Souls Refusing to conform to any existing molds We are wolves We are wolves We are wolves We are wolves No gods No masters Free will Disasters No scene No rules We do what we want to do We are wolves We are wolves We are wolves We are wolves

Never give up Never give in Keep on going Until the end When your backed into a corner And hope is lost You must resist At any cost No surrender No turning back No retreat Stay on the attack FIGHTING SPIRIT FIGHTING SPIRIT FIGHTING SPIRIT FIGHTING SPIRIT Fall down 7 times Stand up 8 Perseverance Always challenge your fate There are no gains Without being tested There is no learning Without being bested Opposition is the source of all growth When you overcome it It counts the most FIGHTING SPIRIT FIGHTING SPIRIT FIGHTING SPIRIT FIGHTING SPIRIT

Chasing The Dragon 02:20
lyrics
buy track
The first time Will be the last time Because the last time Will never be like the first No matter how hard you try It'll never be the same The way it used to be Is not relevant It does not matter How it was done before Do it the way that you see fit Go ahead and create your own lore Stop chasing the dragon Stop chasing the dragon BE FREE! LET GO! The old school Was once the new school The new school becomes the old school Follow your path Make up your own rules Pay respect to the traditions But don’t be bound by them Allow for growth, Allow for change Allow yourself to write a new page Stop chasing the dragon Stop chasing the dragon BE FREE! LET GO!

The Journey Has Begun 02:13
lyrics

Fire on the mountain The journey has begun One does not linger But travels on There is much to discover Many lessons to be learned Knowledge, wisdom, beauty Helping spread the burn There's fire on the mountain The journey has begun There's fire on the mountain Let it burn There's fire on the mountain The journey has begun There's fire on the mountain Let it burn Success through smallness Move slow, be ready Perseverance brings good fortune Plod forward, stay steady The superior man Is lucid and cautious In enforcing retribution And delays no action There's fire on the mountain The journey has begun There's fire on the mountain Let it burn There's fire on the mountain The journey has begun There's fire on the mountain Let it burn

Paper Tiger 02:26
lyrics

I'm cashing in wolf tickets And your first in line A sentence of seppuku For all of your crimes I'll be your second But let me go first Off with your head and I'll watch the blood spurt, spurt, spurt Your death Before dishonor Your death Before dishonor Your death Before dishonor Your death Before dishonor You have no honor You have no pride A boastful fool Who runs and hides Tough from afar But far from a tough With your lack of respect We've had enough Your death Before dishonor Your death Before dishonor Your death Before dishonor Your death Before dishonor Paper Tiger A phony a fake Paper Tiger A coward, a disgrace Paper Tiger Full of lies Paper Tiger Won’t fall for your disguise

It’s a war...War It’s a war...War It’s a war...War On the dance floor It’s a war...War It’s a war...War It’s a war...War Some call it the pit We call it life A Meditative release Of struggle and strife Legs and fists Moving to the beat Wall of death There is no retreat It’s a war...War It’s a war...War It’s a war...War On the dance floor It’s a war...War It’s a war...War It’s a war...War Singalongs Intensity and rage Pile-ons And dives from the stage Protect your head As the bodies fly Watch out for your brother And nobody dies It’s a war...War It’s a war...War It’s a war...War On the dance floor It’s a war...War It’s a war...War It’s a war...War

Brass Butterfly 02:04
lyrics

As the brass butterfly flaps its wings: The flight brings pain. The flight brings destruction. The flight brings blood. Feel the kiss of the brass butterfly. As the brass butterfly flaps its wings: The flight brings retribution. The flight brings vengeance. The flight brings justice. Feel the kiss of the brass butterfly. As the brass butterfly flaps its wings: The flight brings redemption. The flight brings penance. The flight brings closure. Feel the kiss of the brass butterfly.

One-Eyed Wishes 02:08
lyrics
buy track
Still waiting for my time (MY TIME) Still waiting for my day (MY DAY) But one-eyed wishes Are all that remain A lifetime of disappointments Hardships and pain A life of tragedies A life full of strain Unrequited dreams Unfulfilled requests Patience is only a virtue Yet one of the hardest tests Still waiting for my time (MY TIME) Still waiting for my day (MY DAY) But one-eyed wishes Are all that remain Still waiting for my time (MY TIME) Still waiting for my day (MY DAY) But one-eyed wishes Are all that remain Maybe it’s already been granted Maybe I’m just too close to see Maybe it’s just been overlooked Maybe I’m drowning in my pleas Maybe it’s not really an issue Maybe I’m dwelling on the negativity Still waiting for my time (MY TIME) Still waiting for my day (MY DAY) But one-eyed wishes Are all that remain

about

The Way Of image

The Way Of New Jersey

The idea was simple. Take our crew of close friends and start a band. Some of us have been in bands before. For others, this is their first foray. Sounds of New York Hardcore, Venice Beach Punk, Oi!, Streetpunk, and a healthy love of Motörhead echo throughout. Applying Bruce Lee’s philosophy for Jeet Kune Do to what we do; use what works and throw out what doesn’t. ... more
