Here We Stand

There's a light that's dragging on, and it's carried me this far.
Once again, I failed to send the message pawn.
Bridge the gap of certainty. Finally claim the things we need.
One more step is one more chance to understand.

They said I was young.
They pulled me away.
I fell to my knees. Would you carry me?
I have no regrets for the first time.

Here we stand, over death. You take it away. (There was a time)
You took all the pain. (The world we held up high)
You threw it away, (All we've known forever) from me.
Please don't stay afraid.

Now I see there's a destiny, overrun with your pure vanity. What do you think now?
Open doors but you cannot dream, with the genocide and your dead to me.
Cut away, cut away.
To become a fool is to act of lunacy.

They said I was young.
They pulled me away.
I fell to my knees. Would you carry me?
I have no regrets for the first time.

Here we stand, over death. You take it away. (There was a time)
You took all the pain. (The world we held up high)
You threw it away, (All we've known forever) from me.
Please don't stay afraid.

Multiply the many wounds on broken fingers. Better than the amputees of many more.
And as you crawl you want to breathe, the stench too strong.
The screaming kids won't tell a lie.

Here we stand, over death. You take it away. (There was a time)
You took all the pain. (The world we held up high)
You threw it away, (All we've known forever) from me.
Please don't stay afraid.
