The Stand

I was walking straight with my head down
I was taking steps and losing ground
Following the orders you sent down
Without sound, not a sound
I lost my design
Cave away my freedom, I resigned
Covered up my face from the sunshine
What a crime
Try and knock me down, but I’m still standing
Try and knock me down, but I’m still here
You will fade away, but I won’t disappear
'Cause I’m not going anywhere
Tell myself that I’m not paralyzed
Picking up the pieces, I will try
To repair this broken soul of mine, just in time
Time is up
Staring face to face with the enemy
I’ll close my eyes and reach in my soul
I will stand up to the fallout, you better know
Staring face to face, you can’t bury me
I’ll close my eyes and reach in my soul
I’m fighting to take control
