Intro:

E 

 
     E                   D 
When pale turns to pink    with a soft unnerving ease 
E                          D 
     and all you've built around    may just tumble.. 
       D 
to the ground.  Will you stand or fall? With your future 
    E 
in another's hands. 
D                                                  E      N.C. 
Will you stand or fall? When your life is not your own. 

 
     E                     D 
When white turns to red     in the not too distant days 
E                       D 
     will force and misery,  be the life you have to... 
  D                                                     E 
..lead?  Will you stand or fall? With your children in another's world 
D                                                  E 
Will you stand or fall? When your town is not your own.

E 

 
E                                 D 
When crimson takes a hold,    the lights go down on all you've ever known 
E                         D 
      and all you'll ever do    is worked out for you 
D                                                      E 
Will you stand or fall? When the thoughts you have are not your own. 
D                                                   E 
Will you stand or fall? Oh, when the freedom slips away.
