lyrics

We were friends when you were pure.
Times have changed; now I'm not sure.
You caved in and embraced temptation;
Ethics changed with the situation.
Free-falling from the arms of grace
To oblivion's resting place.
Your chemi-crutch beat you to the floor.
Another life is no more.
You gave in--and followed the crowd.
You gave in--and you fell down.
You had a problem and it called for help.
What a mess you made of yourself.
Who were your friends that you hung around?
Their brother's blood cries up from the ground.
I'll never back down from the vow that I made
To call back the sheep that have strayed.
I'll stand for truth no matter what they say,
And show my brothers a better way

Till Death...
by Brotherhood

supported by 20 fans who also own “You Gave In”

Brotherhood is too often seen as an asterisk in the historical recounting of their members' other projects. But these guys stand on their own. They were smart and pushed the sound creatively, the wway bands like SS Decontrol or Chain of Strength did. pjkinzer

This is some seriously cool youth crew. Especially the first tracks (the EP) remind me of Gorilla Biscuits at times. Some parts of the vocals, a couple of bass lines. dcdirkzwager
