Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, man would signal intention with the flick of an eye
With the birth of language came the invention of the lie
But there was something inside us that knew it was wrong
A sacrifice of faith
And instead of embracing truth in ourselves
We put on a second face
[Chorus]
Stand proud above the crowd
Let the truth be rendered
Testify, shoot down the lie
We are the truth defenders
Deliver us from deceit
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time, there was no way to fool your fellow man
When rivals appeared, you'd better kill them or fight them as best you can
It was savage but simple, you knew where you stood
Nobody thought to pretend
The only ambition was hunting to eat
And a woman to keep to the end
[Chorus]
Stand proud above the crowd
Let the truth be rendered
Testify, shoot down the lie
We are the truth defenders
[Bridge]
Truth is bulletproof
A lie is not
Know your enemy
Take your shot
[Verse 3]
But some of us never abandoned the truth, unable to play such games
In allegiance only to our word, protectors of the flame
[Chorus]
Stand proud above the crowd
Let the truth be rendered
Testify, shoot down the lie
We are the truth defenders
Deliver us from deceit
