Where you stand

In the middle you stood

as the world crumbled around you

you cared not what happened

for you were on top

you looked down and spat upon us

and we looked up and loathed you

you knew not what you made us

but we knew what we had made you

we had made you our leader

we had followed you

and you repaid us with this

we could do nothing

so you rose, and we fell

but in the end that would not matter

in the end

what would matter was who stood

on the right side
