Stand For What's Right

[Verse 1]
You draw your lines in chalk
On a floor I never chose
Call it truth
Call it law
Just a mask on a crooked nose
You say “trust me
This is better”
While you’re stepping on my neck
You confuse your guilt with honor
But I see through the cracks
[Chorus]
I will always stand for what’s right
Not for what you think is right
I won’t kneel to your borrowed light
I burn my own way through the night
I will always stand for what’s right
Even if I stand alone in the fight
Carved in my teeth
Carved in my spine
Your cheap little truth is never touching mine
[Verse 2]
You weaponize your fear
Dress it up as holy words
Every lie you built a throne on
Is collapsing in the dirt
You demand that I surrender
To a warped and twisted creed
But I’d rather choke on failure
Than be fed your poisoned feed
[Breakdown]
[Guitars drop to brutal chugs
Vocals turn guttural]
Right is right
Even when I’m shaking
Right is right
Even when I’m breaking
Your “right” is just
A crown made of rust
I’ll grind it down
Turn it back into dust (hey!)
[Chorus]
I will always stand for what’s right
Not for what you think is right
I won’t kneel to your borrowed light
I burn my own way through the night
I will always stand for what’s right
Even if I stand alone in the fight
Carved in my teeth
Carved in my spine
Your cheap little truth is never touching mine
