Lyrics The Stand - Lahannya

The Stand

Do you hear their hostile footsteps
Echoing in the dark
Like predators on the hunt
For those who dare to stand against
Their new regime
Convincing them with their guns
At every corner I can feel their shadow
Reaching out
Waiting for my first mistake
Not a second to catch my breath
While I fight fatigue
Striving to stay awake
They’re coming closer
Getting stronger
I can feel them
They’re almost here
Their power is growing
While they’re feeding on our fear
I’ll stand my ground and
I will not back down
I’ve played the faithful slave for too long
No one can force my mind
I’ve sworn to crucify
The dystopia they have spawned
In the face of violence and despair
I have found the strength
To defend dreams we share
Fathers and sons turned into soldiers
Fighting a war that
They don’t understand
Another army marching blindly
Frightened pawns
In somebody’s selfish game
I never imagined that I would see
Such naked hatred in their eyes
I’m sorry that I could not protect you
From their lies
I’ll stand my ground and
I will not back down
I’ve played the faithful slave for too long
No one can force my mind
I’ve sworn to crucify
The dystopia they have spawned
In the face of violence and despair
I have found the strength
To defend dreams we share
