We take a stand

Intro

March

One, two, hear the call

Three, four, watch them fall

Are you listening

Verse 1

You built your towers out of lies and bone

Sitting high upon a stolen throne

Pointing fingers from a quiet room

Writing checks to orchestrate our doom

You want obedience

You want a slave

Walking blindly to an early grave

Well I see right through the mask you wear

I'm standing right here

I dare you

Pre-Chorus

You twist the truth to fit your design

You think we'll just toe the line

But every chain you forge will break

Look at the mess you had to make

Chorus

We are the shadow when the light goes blind

We leave your empty promises behind

You trade our futures for a bag of lies

While the innocent burn and the whole world cries

You want a war

Go fight it alone

We're carving truth straight into the stone

Not a puppet

Not a tool in your hand

We take a stand

Verse 2

You count the profit from the blood we shed

Sleeping easy while our brothers are dead

You sell salvation in a plastic cup

While the whole damn system eats itself up

I spit the venom back in your face

You're a cancer on the human race

Hiding out behind a badge and a creed

Feeding the monster of your endless greed

Pre-Chorus

You twist the truth to fit your design

You think we'll just toe the line

But every chain you forge will break

Look at the mess you had to make

Chorus

We are the shadow when the light goes blind

We leave your empty promises behind

You trade our futures for a bag of lies

While the innocent burn and the whole world cries

You want a war

Go fight it alone

We're carving truth straight into the stone

Not a puppet

Not a tool in your hand

We take a stand

Bridge

How does it feel

When the ground starts shaking beneath your feet

When the ghosts of your choices walk down your street

You thought we would break

You thought we would fold

We aren't for sale and our souls aren't sold

Break the chains

Hear the call

Watch your empire crumble and fall

Guitar Breakdown

No more games

No more lies

Open your eyes

Chorus

We are the shadow when the light goes blind

We leave your empty promises behind

You trade our futures for a bag of lies

While the innocent burn and the whole world cries

You want a war

Go fight it alone

We're carving truth straight into the stone

Not a puppet

Not a tool in your hand

We take a stand

Outro

Take a stand

No more falling in line

We are the reckoning
