Power is absolute
Power can corrupt
Will justice have
The power to stand
Will it be a line in the sand
The sound of the left
The sound of the right
Will justice stand up and fight
Atrocities of war on media all night
Broken by simply giving a command
Truth must cross that line in the sand
What compass shall help us lead the way
Morality must rise to keep the darkness at bay
Through history the story unfolds to be told
Extending a hand is it to take or for us to hold
There is much we must unravel to understand
Power that corrupts is also the power to command
The powers that be are busy drawing lines in the sand
