Killswitch Engage
Alone I Stand
[Intro]
A day of great tribulation is upon us
A time of deception conflict and unrest
I will not cower in fear and submission
I will hold my ground and resist
[Verse 1]
It all starts in the mind
From the beginning of days, to the last and final end
Uncertainty bleeds from within
Open wounds stitched with precision
Mind and body conditioned to obey
They call us sons and daughters
Only sheep led to the slaughter
So many times, so many lies
I am disconnected, from a system I’ve rejected
[Chorus]
No allegiance, defiant I withstand
This resistance, I reject what you demand
And alone I stand
[Verse 2]
Rank, file and number
We are gears in the machine
Unseen to the eye, the shackles are on the inside
Illusion of security
Rejection of this supremacy
Confusion lead us to submission
Disconnection from a system I’ve rejected
[Chorus]
No allegiance, defiant I withstand
This resistance, I reject what you demand
And alone I stand
[Bridge]
There is great tribulation upon us all
Deception, conflict and unrest upon us all (Upon us all)
I will hold my ground
I will, I will resist
[Chorus/Outro]
No allegiance (No allegiance)
I reject what you demand (What you demand)
And alone I stand
