1.	Laying here waiting for the lights to take me 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Tell me the reasons (just one reason) For your betrayal (you are to blame) I find the darkness (the light redeems me) Keeps me in anger (it keeps me warm) Burn We’re holding hope that we’ll be renewed (A burning shadow in the bloom) We cry for losses that we yearn (And build the bridges on our own) I promise you, that I’ll say “stay with me” Here’s another question (another question) For you to answer (just fucking say it) Does the guilt burn you (or does it hurt you) Or does it drive you (in to despair)
2.	I get my strength by fighting for the right reasons 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Can you aid my recollection? You make my heart beat slow Fascinated with your faintness Are you someone I know? Why can’t I remember you? You’re just a blurry memory, sorry If I don’t make it back tonight I promise that I’m fine I’m fine Through the fog and muddy waters It’s hard to reminisce But If I scratch below the surface I sink in endless bliss I can't find the words to express I'm caught in a silence You could take the time to notice I'm fractured with violence
3.	All I know is the extent of everything I don't know (free) 03:58	lyrics	download
What have we done, we broke the mirrors Shattered our hearts we bled on the shards Block out the sun, denounce your colours We’re one and the same, together we fall Rise against the power Stake your claim on life Liars locked in towers Preach to hold control Escape the grasp of life before we all become a part of the machine (Escape the grasp of Life, free your heart and mind) Our lies become a part of us the more we hide the truth, the trust, the love (Bring the truth to light, let the love ignite) Who are we now, to point our fingers? When we are to blame, when we are to shame Your words are a gun, so pull the trigger Cut through the sky with your fist held up high
4.	Now all we need is a deck of cards 04:23	lyrics	buy track
You’re a shot of pure alcohol You knock me back and I stumble You’re the chaos in my control Our hearts collide, friction ignites I can feel you underneath my skin You bled my heart when I began To understand what I really am Just another open hearted man Our hearts collide You're the heartbeat of my soul Our hearts collide, friction ignites There’s a path that I choose to follow Now it’s too late to turn around I could plan and run tomorrow To a place were I could not be found But it’s too late Now I can’t leave what we left behind All the moments where you stand by my side But it’s too late

about

The Truth The Trust The Love is the début release by UK band Samurai. Having played their first couple of shows to immense critical acclaim the band has released their first batch of songs in EP form to similar reception after only 6 months together. Check out some of the great things said about the band and the EP to date:

"An impressive debut; a band with an unbridled passion for the heavier side of rock...The Truth, The Trust, The Love is a manly-sized slice of meaty metal wrapped up in a melodic rock crust. Bon appétit" : - AltSounds EP Review hangout.altsounds.com/reviews/147926-review-samurai-truth-trust-love-ep.html

"The four piece metal edged post-hardcore troupe went straight in to it with a ferocious barrage of sound like early Funeral For a Friend and Thrice that cut across the crowd like a Bushido warriors blade... If they continue on this path I can see them being world beaters before the year is out!" : - GotGrog live review www.gotgrog.com/blog.php?blog=52

“The Truth, The Trust, The Love is a 4 track, unprovoked attack on the senses; a careful balance of tender melodies and Israeli-style aggression" : - LeytonJay.co.uk Blog Review leytonjay.co.uk/crawley-band-samurai-releases-debut-ep/

"I can’t believe they have achieved this in such little time. There's good variation through each track but still with their own sound, melding brutal metal with anthemic post-hardcore. If you like your music with a pair of balls clad in lamellar armour, wielding a Hattori Hanzo blade and screaming a war cry, I seriously recommend you check them out!" : - Got Grog EP Review www.gotgrog.com/blog.php?blog=99
