[Verse]
     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.

[Verse]
     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.

[Verse]
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.
