Their music is a raw, unfiltered reflection of their experiences, aspirations, and roots.

Title:
“Warrior’s Heart”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G
On the ancient path, under the highland’s sky
D Em
I walk alone, with a warrior’s pride
Em G
Echoes of past, in my heart, they lie
D Em
Never to forget, never to hide
(Chorus)
C G
I’ve got a warrior’s heart, on a warrior’s path
D Em
A song in my soul, and a fire that’ll last
C G
I’ve got a warrior’s heart, on a warrior’s path
D Em
We will never bow, we will never crash
(Verse 2)
Em G
In the land of thistles, where the brave seeds cast
D Em
We hold our own, we hold our past
Em G
With a warrior’s heart, we’ll outlast
D Em
The storms of time, till the very last
(Back to Chorus)
C G
I’ve got a warrior’s heart, on a warrior’s path
D Em
A song in my soul, and a fire that’ll last
C G
I’ve got a warrior’s heart, on a warrior’s path
D Em
We will never bow, we will never crash
