Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware

So you were a devout follower, who followed most of the rules. You prayed, you believed that it was all for you. But you were led astray in the face of adversity when the "shepherd" led you into troubled waters. You couldn't trust Him anymore, so you took matters into your own hands. Here, you found all of the lost sheep, without God in their hearts, and saw it as a token of acceptance. You asked why God allowed you to be so, never realizing that you were crushing yourself with free will. Your hand led you astray, into the darkness, where satan could take it. Finally, you were part of a flock that got you, all questioning why God supposedly spoke hatred, all while serving the one who was causing it.

You fell victim to what you saw
Never realizing
It was the target
You should have been fighting

Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware

Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware

You began to see the negative in the world. You saw that the church is corrupt. You saw that society was full of lies. You saw that people were blindly following things they didn't understand. You looked in and saw your own pain. These were only the things you were supposed to be fighting. God dislikes them as much as you do. Now that you see them, can you change them?

You can change them, but you have to trust God.

You have to unclench your fist, and pick up the weapon that you really need.

Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware...

Standing by the truth (We want you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (On the midnight run)
But they are only a sign (Leave the black behind)
That you are aware (Come into the sun)

Standing by the truth (We're calling you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (We still want you home)
But they are only a sign (Our pack feels empty)
That you are aware (Come in from the cold)

Standing by the truth (We want you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (On the midnight run)
But they are only a sign (Leave the black behind)
That you are aware (Come into the sun)

Standing by the truth (We're calling you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (We still want you home)
But they are only a sign (Our pack feels empty)
That you are aware (Come in from the cold)
