The General Lied, the People Died
TitanChord
Weak men follow liars.
Strong men bury ‘em.
I seen weak men trust the crown,
Follow orders, fallin’ down.
I seen strong men break the chain,
Stand alone in the drivin’ rain.
The general lied, the people died,
Weak men turned and closed their eyes.
Strong men rise where the truth won’t hide,
The general lied, the people died.
Weak men bow to words of fire,
Strong men call a liar “liar.”
Weak men kneel when the whip is shown,
Strong men ride and stand alone.
The general lied, the people died,
Weak men scattered, strong men tried.
Don’t be the fool who follows blind—
Be the strong man, hold the line.
A crown don’t mean truth.
A throne don’t mean right.
Weak men obey.
Strong men fight.
The general lied, the people died,
Weak men faltered, strong men cried.
Don’t be the one who turns aside—
Be the strong man, never hide.
Lies kill.
Truth stands.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
Weak men follow liars. Strong men bury ‘em.
I seen weak men trust the crown, Follow orders, fallin’ down. I seen strong men break the chain, Stand alone in the drivin’ rain.
The general lied, the people died, Weak men turned and closed their eyes. Strong men rise where the truth won’t hide, The general lied, the people died.
Weak men bow to words of fire, Strong men call a liar “liar.” Weak men kneel when the whip is shown, Strong men ride and stand alone.
The general lied, the people died, Weak men scattered, strong men tried. Don’t be the fool who follows blind— Be the strong man, hold the line.
A crown don’t mean truth. A throne don’t mean right. Weak men obey. Strong men fight.
The general lied, the people died, Weak men faltered, strong men cried. Don’t be the one who turns aside— Be the strong man, never hide.
Lies kill. Truth stands.
