The band's style has been categorized as "death country", "frontier rock", or "revival music"Their Will (lyrics)On waves, we had comeThey planted us on to these shores Now we had never knownSuch sights or the places That we now called homeWe were given to this dayThere was silenceAnd then came their callsUrged us up and over for King and CountryFor God's sake, don't hesitate boysMake the distance before they see"

Then into their fire, we drove our bodiesThen came the soundsCries of pain emerged from within the clouds

Our feet, they fell apartOur will soon followed, as did our heartsWith head in hands We traced our pathsOn the remnants of their worn out mapsAnd prayed for an end

By the time We had turned aroundThe tides had comeReclaimed the broken ground

We forgot that we were menAnd where we came fromAnd where we laid our heads

And the wounds we hadWe all knew they'd never mendAnd the ones we lost And the ones we couldn't save
