“Decennium” (Decade) is a song that celebrates the ten-year anniversary of Whitechapel. Throughout the song, Phil Bozeman thanks his fans for all those years of music and encourages them to move on through his lyrics, serving as a relief after all that they have been through.
[Verse 1]
Brothers rejoice, I propose a toast to this decennium
Followers celebrate, for this is our time, no turning back now
[Pre-Chorus]
I share the tears of thousands like me
Don’t be afraid, for my hand can be reached
My friend, I know it’s hard to stay on your feet
But you’re part of a brotherhood that never admits defeat
[Chorus]
We’ve lost a lot of things along the way
And I know that it’s hard to stay
Just hold on, it won’t be long
Until this pain is gone
[Post-Chorus]
If you bleed, just know I bleed too
I’ll never be hiding you from the truth
Just hold on, for we are strong
This is where we belong
[Verse 2]
There’s a way out, don’t hold onto doubt
Or hopelessness, I’ve been down that road before
Time won’t come back for you, look straight ahead
There’s so much more, this isn’t the end
[Pre-Chorus]
I share the fears of thousands like me
Don’t be ashamed, for I’m here to teach you
My friend, I know it’s hard to stay on your feet
But you’re part of a brotherhood that never admits defeat
[Chorus]
We’ve lost a lot of things along the way
And I know that it’s hard to stay
Just hold on, it won’t be long
Until this pain is gone
[Bridge]
Don’t quit on me now
This has to be what we were created for
To walk side by side as one
Walk side by side as one
[Interlude]
You’re safe now, my friend
No one can hear you but me
Tell me anything you need
We’re the brotherhood of the blade
[Chorus]
Come together
We spent our whole lives separated
And now it’s time to be as one and pave the way
We’re the brotherhood of the blade
[Post-Chorus]
If you bleed, just know I bleed too
I’ll never be hiding you from the truth
Just hold on, for we are strong
This is where we belong
[Guitar Solo]
