This Time We Stand

Pull the curtain, Dim the lights And set the scene to kill tonight Because we can't trust the men in blue They swear to God they told the truth I am making fires now for you Holding up the light to see the truth This time we will stand and make it through The state was pulling strings today Pressing flesh to make him pay Dead man walking paralyzed By greedy hearts and dirty eyes I am making fires now for you Holding up the light to see the truth This time we will stand and make it through Be terrified of all the things we know Because if innocence is ordinary There are places I don't want to go The show is over, time to leave A job well done, an hour to grieve They're sorry if he's not the one They had to kill somebodys son I am making fires now for you Holding up the light to see the truth This time we will stand and make it through
