We came for blood We came for truth We came with nothing We’ll leave with you We came with Recourse We’ll see it through We came with poison We came for you It’s the last days, that’s up to you my friend But you won’t stop until the end You say you cannot feel the pain, we’ll wait and see I never said that this would be okay You’re all waiting around for judgment day You never listened to a word I’ve said Cause we’ll for your blood anyway You came with love Full tried and true We give you nothing In spite of you There is a recourse There is a truth We have but nothing All we need is you

Time will give us strength to carry on Now that a big piece of my life’s gone In some way light will find a way to shine on me And give me reasons for this happening Here I am standing all alone, without you around to call my own Through thick and thin as well to have and hold I know that you are never coming home. Does anybody feel the same as I? Can anybody out there empathize? Make me feel I’m not the only one, Am I the only one, whoever lost someone? Now you left me for those “lifelong deeds.” But I can’t help it they’re part of me. I know who I am and I can’t change that. Now I know you are never coming back. Here I am standing all alone, without you around to call my own Through thick and thin as well to have and hold I know that you are never coming home. Does anybody feel the same as I? Can anybody out there empathize? Make me feel I’m not the only one, Am I the only one, whoever lost someone?

Welcome to this house of lies I've left the door wide open The life we had covered in flies And all the hearts are broken I don't need your sympathy I don't need your cheer I will take your empathy And wash it down with beer It drives me insane sometimes Knowing you're not there Please take me away from here Take me anywhere Welcome to this house of shame We're serving guilty accusations With everybody else to blame No one ever has the patience I don't need your sympathy I don't need your cheer I will take your empathy And wash it down with beer It drives me insane sometimes Knowing you're not there Please take me away from here Take me anywhere All these memories in these halls Where am I supposed to go? The nicotine stains on the walls I should have left a long time ago I don't mind the air sometimes I don't mind the tears I'm not good at using rhymes When dealing with my fears I don't need your sympathy I don't need your cheer I will take your empathy And wash it down with beer It drives me insane sometimes Knowing you're not there Please take me away from here Take me anywhere

Haste is not the case, you waste while you’re awake You’ve burn your ties, time after time. The clock is ticking by and it races around your mind. You burn your faith; you’ve burned your life I’ve seen the light, I’ve seen the way But I don’t know if I can stay It goes to show the more you know the more you go out of your way, to fade away Inside your soul has died, it weighs upon your mind You’re fire fired all of your tries The answers in your hand, but the weight’s too much to stand You’re screaming hallelujah! I’ve seen the light, I’ve seen the way But I don’t know if I can stay It goes to show the more you know the more you go out of your way, to fade away

I don’t know why I even bother, bother with you sometimes. I try and try, time after time, and turn a blind third eye. I started something I cannot finish, please stay here, don’t let me go. One day we’ll chase each other through heaven and hell But for now we’re all, now we’re all One day we’ll find ourselves without a soul to sell But for now we’re all, now we’re all alright Moving on keeps getting harder, for days I’ve stayed awake. Promises aren’t as easy to keep, they’re much easier to brake. I started something I cannot finish, please stay here, don’t let me go. One day we’ll chase each other through heaven and hell But for now we’re all, now we’re all One day we’ll find ourselves without a soul to sell But for now we’re all, now we’re all alright now we’re all, now we’re all alright, we’re all alright Please don’t let me go, don’t let me go One day we’ll chase each other through heaven and hell But for now we’re all, now we’re all One day we’ll find ourselves without a soul to sell But for now we’re all, now we’re all alright

Hold on tight, we’ll be alright, with you and I counting city lights. While passerby’s, they close their eyes, but yours and mine are open wide. Can’t look to the future when your living for the past. Can’t live for the moment when you think that this won’t last. I’ll make an introduction to a world you’ve never known. This night is fading fast, but we’re taking this part slow.

Can we save it, is it out of our reach? They say that we are breaking down. We are the blinded, by the lies you preach! They say that Motown’s burning down We are the leaders, we never follow the crowd We are the strangers, the young the loud and the proud. We are the voices, never silent for long. Don’t let the stories break us down! Tell the masses, we are coming back strong And we will never let you down. We are the leaders, we never follow the crowd We are the strangers, the young the loud and the proud. They say our town’s dead, as dead as it could possibly be Escape is not an option, not a possibility.

about

Hold on tight, Detroit rockers Arm Your Enemy are charging on to the scene with their debut release, Vanguard.

Mixing elements of punk, indie and classic rock with layers of pop-influenced melodies, Vanguard is like a volcano, building in strength until it erupts. Vanguard displays the bands’ full range of emotions, from introspective and a bit sullen (Counting City Lights) to pissed off with a taste for vengeance (We Came for Blood).
