You see the level of trust between us I know your feelings are the same as mine There is no stronger tie or chain We're the reason we survive It's the simplest truth Yet the strongest will by far In the end it's the life you choose Give you a reason to stay alive Don't live to see how long you exist Live to prove how long you survive The tried and the few A promise kept to you The absolute test of strength, the test of truth Sanctified Hand to the steel, foot to the throat You're thorn to skin, so forth it goes It's been a long fucking journey for me but without you I know I'd never make it back We've overcome the many tests of time, when the rest come short from the soul they lack The sacred heart Some know nothing of the binding oath My soul for yours Forever chained to the alter of life we chose
