[Intro]
Whispers drift through marble halls, a shadowed throne of stone
The scorpions coil where banners fall, in silence grown
[Verse 1]
In halls of gold where promises decay, the truth seems far away
Corruption threads through every gate, a web that won’t unstrain
The innocent rise with quiet faith, yet crossfire splits the day
If doors are sealed and voices fade, where can the faithful pray?
[Pre-Chorus]
But knowledge lights a stubborn flame, reveals the hidden cracks
To name the poison, call the bluffs, unmask the tyrant’s acts
[Chorus]
Stand, though the halls tremble, stand for what is true
Seek the light in the corners of a corrupted view
If power dims the pathway, let wisdom guide the way
Catch the truth before it withers and gives way to decay
[Verse 2]
Traditions cradle the weary heart, a compass in the storm
Yet rulers burn the scripts we trust, to justify their form
The masses hold a steadfast faith, caught in the crossfire’s flame
When rulers scorch the sacred vows, we must reclaim the name
[Pre-Chorus]
Let learning pierce the veil of lies, expose the bitter root
Knowledge is a lantern bright, when fear takes root
[Chorus]
Stand, though the halls tremble, stand for what is true
Seek the light in the corners of a corrupted view
If power dims the pathway, let wisdom guide the way
Catch the truth before it withers and gives way to decay
[Bridge]
Raise the chapters, question the crown, echo through the halls
Where guardians of the past once stood, answer the silent calls
[Chorus]
Stand, though the halls tremble, stand for what is true
Seek the light in the corners of a corrupted view
If power dims the pathway, let wisdom guide the way
Catch the truth before it withers and gives way to decay
[Outro]
Till dawn reveals the grain of right, till justice breaks the night
We walk the road of knowing, till corrupted stars alight
