“Final Stand”

Way back when the world was young beyond the desert sand.
A brave man looked over the land then made his, “Final Stand”.
Born a lowly peasant the last child of nine.
He set out into the world with only his focused mind.

Mounted his horse.
Took a northern course.
Gathered the children and told them why.
They had to reach for the sky.

(and take over the) “Society”, They Began to Understand.
(they’ll take over the) “Society”, They Believed What He Could See.

Traveled more than forty nights, into forbidden lands.
Over rivers across grave sights, of ancient man.
Each test could be his last, no one would ever know.
Counted the hours as each one passed, it’s finally time to take it home.

Strung his bow and arrow.
Sights set for the pharaoh.
He huddled the children, then knelt and prayed.
“God Can You Show Us the Way?”

(to take over the) “Society”, All is Lost if It Never Stops.
(they’ll take over the) “Society”, He Always Knew What He Could Do.

Solo:

(they took over the) “Society”, They Began to Understand.
(they took over the) “Society”, They Believed What He Could See.
(they took over the) “Society”, All is Lost if It Never Stops.
(they took over the) “Society”, He Always Knew What He Could Do, Yeah.
