The Stand - Lahannya

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
