[Intro]
When the world is quiet, just a whisper breaks your rest, your rest

[Verse 1]
Peace
Reach for the light
Like a child
Desperate grip on the passing breeze
Cling to peace
Close to your chest
There's cracks in your voice as we sing
"When the world is quiet, just a whisper breaks your rest"

[Chorus]
Wait
"Give me the child, I'll give you the man," they say
No
We'll walk through fire to fight you
Asleep or awake
It's not the simple sacrifice you planned
No
Now wait by the wall, let them come
Here I stand
Here I stand (I stand, I stand)

[Verse 2]
Peace
Run while you can
Rising hands, speaking a language we all understand
Forget peace
The lie didn't take, you won't break
The spirit, a martyr, the mind has freed
Forget peace
[Verse 3]
The stars were just beacons then
They will make amends
Color to his eyes
Let the light pour in, oh
We've already lost enough time to shadows
And damned ourselves to empty oaths we wear like broken glass to make us whole

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I wait
"Give me the child, I'll give you the man," they say
No
We'll walk through fire to fight you
Asleep or awake
It's not the simple sacrifice you planned
No
Now wait by the wall, let them come
Here I stand

[Bridge]
Here
Out of my cage
Free
Out of this place
Finally
Let them come
Here
Out of my cage
Free
Out of this place
Finally
[Outro]
Hand in hand with our own
This is our home, this is our home
Let our sign say, "Let them come and meet their end"
Now the world is quiet
This is where we make our stand, our stand
