Stand Up (Extended) - Stromkern

Now the people on the left let me hear you say

That you’re sick of their lies and you’re not gonna take it

And now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste

Gonna start it off now, bring it on now, bring it

Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands up

Stand up and demand some answers.

What?

Come on, can you hear me in the back?

If you can’t, let 'em know and we’ll turn up the track.

So come on.

(They're addicted to power and they’re addicted to war.

They’re addicted to war and they can’t break the habit.

It should prevail.

It could be drugs.)

This is a song dedicated to the lost

Triggered by guilt and devoured by the holocaust

Well you prayed for daylight and it never came

So you better start praying again

Well it’s not a psychosis and it’s not a relief

And it’s nothing that’s certain and it’s not a belief

It’s just a better way to maintain the illusion

I want a solution

We want a revolution

Well I’ll follow;

we’ll synchronize

So many confined at one place at one time

And there’s so much at hand that I don’t understand

And circumstances demand that we all better take a stand

Give in once, well you’re giving in twice

Giving in three times;

like you’re giving them light

But they can’t keep secrets 'cause they know they’re wrong

And they can’t keep us down 'cause we’re too damn strong

Now the people on the left let me hear you say

That you’re sick of their lies and you’re not gonna take it

And now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste

Gonna start it off now, bring it on now, bring it

Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands up

Stand up and demand some answers.

What?

Come on, can you hear me in the back?

If you can’t, let 'em know and we’ll turn up the track.

So come on.

An enemy yours is an enemy mine

And I’m just not sure if I’m wasting your time

If I could see the inertia I’d give it a try

But I gotta project or I gotta deny

Nothing is wrong here, but something ain’t right

I don’t feel this;

I’m not seeing this

Something ain’t coming plus I’ve got a feeling

Don’t make a sound;

keep your eyes on the ceiling

It’s automatic;

I know we used to have it

And I wanted to let it go;

I wish it would make it so

Nothing’s gonna save you when the chips are down

Nothing’s gonna save you if you don’t act now

But the current event is like a curdling sound

The event hypothetical, you’d better remember

The action on the trigger’s just a state of your mind

Any action or reaction is just a matter of time

Now the people on the left, let me see your faith

I want to start it off slow, then we’ll pick up the pace

And now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste

Been a long time coming, gonna hit the ground running

Now the people in the front, let me see those hands

'Cause it’s so far gone, I’m not surprised no one understands

What!

Turn it up can you hear me in the back

Fly now so we testify so we can never die

Fly now so we testify so we can never die

So we fly

So we all pretend we’re oblivious

Perfectly serious

Tell me that you needed this

Never know what you’re gonna find

Never know what you might have left undefined

But I can tell you what it won’t be

Another web of confusions

Of lies and illusions

You can’t imagine the half of them

Petrified

Genocide

Masterminds

Worlds that they’ve undermined

It’s a place, it’s a time, it’s a lifeline

It’s a chance to atone for a lifetime

Reach your hands to the sky when you testify

Put 'em up, keep 'em up until you realize

Killing them once is like killing them twice

Killing with something that’s a killing device

It’s killing them slowly, then it’s killing them nice

If it’s killing your act

I want a Reich

Now the people on the left let me hear you say

That you’re sick of their lies and you’re not gonna take it

And now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste

Gonna start it off now, bring it on now, bring it

Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands up

Stand up and demand some answers.

What?

Come on, can you hear me in the back?

If you can’t, let 'em know and we’ll turn up the track.

So come on.

Now the people on the left, let me see your faith

I want to start it off slow, then we’ll pick up the pace

And now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste

Been a long time coming, gonna hit the ground running

Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands

'Cause it’s so far gone, I’m not surprised no one understands

What!

Turn it up, can you hear me in the back

Fly now so we testify, so we can never die

Fly now so we testify, so we can never die

So we fly

Fly now so we testify so we can never die.
