Stand before me
With your back exposed
And I will follow so long as you lead,
So long as your steps are true and not trespassing.
But if you do not keep watch,
I may not be there when you turn around,
Or you may wake to find a dagger in your side.
I promise nothing to a leader.
Stand opposing me
And I swear you�ll not live to see the dawn.
I would spend all I have to see you perish
And spare no mercy on your dying soul.
Your life is nothing,
A wasted breath upon this world.
Not a tear will be shed at your passing,
And I will rejoice in your pain.
Stand beside me
And you are a treasure indeed.
Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed,
For it is surely a sacrifice to be my friend.
But watch your step!
There�s just one step back and one step forward.
And may your God save you should you turn...
You will be nothing in my mind.
Where do you stand?
