There are men who would destroy us
Take our thoughts, our beliefs, our tongues
These are the men that hide the light of truth
Behind walls of corruption and power
They sit in their high, dark towers
Plotting their plots; weaving their lies
Telling tales of a past that never happened
And then lie to hide the truth of what really did
They lie to cover the old lies
And when lies no longer cover their pasts
Apology is policy.
These are the men that kill with impunity
And cast doubts on the believers
There are no laws to stop these men
No justice to bring their deeds to light
There is only the fragile hope that someday
The truth will be free

There are men who would save us
There are men who would expose the killers
Heroes of light, the knights in shining armor
Brave and lone soldiers who still fight the good fight
These are the men that will save us . . . or bring us crashing down
These are the men that will free the truth
And show it to the world.
The truth may destroy us . . . the truth may set us free
But at least we will have it
At least we will know for sure,
At least we will know.
There are still dreamers, saints, and heroes to believe in
There are still those blessed few that look where others dare not
They are the ones that see the turning windmills
They are the watchers that scan the skies . . . hoping
These are the men that remember what it is to be human
There are men who still dare to ask questions
There are still those who yearn to breathe free
There are still those who dare to hope and dare to dream dreams
There are still those shinning few that dare to stand
They dare to stand when they hear the call
They dare to stand and be counted
They dare to stand and be recognized
There are still men that care
There are still men that believe
There are still men that fight and die for a cause
There are still heroes to believe in

There are men that want to believe
There are men that want to care
These are the men that know things are happening
And yet do nothing about it
I am one of these men
