Stand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some may sever
Some may never...
Some may take their needs then go...
Some find heaven,
...in sevens and elevens
Some may chase the even flow.
But:
Some may never…some may never even know.
Some may leave us
…take us or leave us.
Some must face their fears to grow.
Some mind heaven,
...through sevens and elevens
Some must taste their heathen glow.
But:
Some may never,
Some of you will never even know…
...ready?
I've come face to face with myself, man.
Sanctify the early light just like the old man can, boy!
Change the world?? you better change yourself man, boy…man
Challenge the mind to be more like the rolling ocean man!
And burn!
Burn!!!
Thou now behold us: the souls of those who anger overcame
Thou now behold us: the souls of those who anger overcame
Some find jesus
Some may never even stand!!!
Stand!
I will not, i will not go!
(i want to know why we are metal…)
I will let, i will let go!
I i i i i
(harmony, harmony…walk to war)
I stand!!!
Stand!!!
I will let go! i will go!!!
I fall now… i'm letting go.
I call tonight, i'm letting go.
I crawl…but now, i'm letting go.
I fall tonight…i'm letting go...
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
(i will let go babe…)
To thine own selves be true…show me
I'm not afraid...
I know myself…
Show yourself!!
Do not pretend to know…there's never a time but now
And i will never back down…do you hear me ?!?!?
I stand!!!
Stand!!!
(no more hate, no more hate!!!)
Stand!!!
I will not, i will not go!!!
(i want to know why we are metal…)
I will let, i will let go!
I will let go!!
Fall out, then fall back in line…shut it!!
