Once upon a time
Man would signal intention
With the flick of an eye
With the birth of language
Came the invention of the lie

But there was something inside us
That knew it was wrong
A sacrifice of faith
And instead of embracing
Truth in ourselves
We put on a second face

Stand proud above the crowd
Let the truth be rendered
Testify, shoot down the lie
We are the truth defenders
Deliver us from deceit

Once upon a time
There was no way
To fool your fellow man
When rivals appeared
You'd better kill them
Or fight them as best you can

It was savage but simple
You knew where you stood
Nobody thought to pretend
The only ambition
Was hunting to eat
And a woman to keep to the end

Stand proud above the crowd
Let the truth be rendered
Testify, shoot down the lie
We are the truth defenders

Truth is bulletproof
A lie is not
Know your enemy
Take your shot

But some of us
Never abandoned the truth
Unable to play such games
In allegiance only to our word
Protectors of the flame

Stand proud above the crowd
Let the truth be rendered
Testify, shoot down the lie
We are the truth defenders
Deliver us from deceit"
