Do you want to be a man? If you want to be a man, then stand up for your belief. Stand up for your right. Give up your goodness and give up your pride. The people will spit, will cry, will run. Do you let that be who you are? No. You. Can’t. Do you let the allegatory build your throne? Do you wish for your name to be set in stone? For the good? For the wrong? For the lie? For the truth? For the gladiator they will make of you?

Man
Do you want to be a man? If you want to be a man, then stand up for your belief. Stand up for your right. Give up your goodness and give up your pride. The people will spit, will cry, will run. Do you let that be who you are? No. You. Can’t. Do you let the allegatory build your throne? Do you wish for your name to be set in stone? For the good? For the wrong? For the lie? For the truth? For the gladiator they will make of you?
