Lyrics
Stand before your maker, it will make or break you
Standing before one's creator, facing a critical moment that can either uplift or destroy.
While living for today
Emphasizing the focus on the present moment.
I know you, you are a faker, don't try me I will take you
Addressing someone as a fake, warning against deceit, with a declaration of readiness to confront.
While living for today
Reiterating the emphasis on the current time and circumstances.
Don't stand in the light for the truth it will blind you
Cautioning against facing the harsh truth, as it may be overwhelming.
Secure in your offices of self-gratification
Describing a state of self-indulgence and complacency.
Deaf to the cries of the innocent strangers you buried
Highlighting indifference to the suffering of innocent people who are neglected or suppressed.
Don't look over your shoulder for the past is still burning
Advising against dwelling on the past, which holds painful memories.
Or wriggle and squirm for your soul has forgotten
Describing a sense of moral decay and forgetfulness.
Controlling the man that through greed has brought misery to the world
Pointing out the control exerted by those driven by greed, causing misery globally.
Guilty until you're proven innocent
Stating a presumption of guilt until innocence is proven.
I'm sorry, but you've sealed your own fate
Expressing regret but asserting that the individual has determined their own unfortunate destiny.
Guilty until you're proven innocent
Repeating the presumption of guilt until proven innocent.
Guilty because you looked turned away
Declaring guilt due to willful ignorance or avoidance.
Power manipulators, conspirators, dictators
Pointing to powerful figures who manipulate, conspire, and dictate, driving people into hiding.
Drive the people underground
Describing the oppressive actions of those in power.
But we'll rise up through the ashes,
Expressing resilience and the potential for rebirth despite adversity.
To stand where light can find us
Striving for a position where one can be seen and recognized positively.
In every nation, every land
Aspiring for positive change on a global scale.
You buy and you sell with no thought for the future
Criticizing a lack of concern for the future in favor of immediate gains.
Controlling the masses in true business like fashion
Depicting the manipulation of masses with a business-like approach to control.
TV, the media, lies and deception blinding us
Highlighting the role of media in spreading lies and fostering deception, leading to collective blindness.
