In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
Despise the lie!
What makes you strong is what I hate
The plague that heals your wounds
All you believe makes you sane, strong
Immune
Truth would destroy you
You would wish for death
If you saw what I see
And you would die, but I would see
You while you would fall
Before me
Fall before me
Soon you will be
Under my feet
And left behind like all conquered lies
If you could cleanse your soul
And leave deception far behind
We would never be equal
Because free I stand, rid of lies
But without lies you would be no more
I do not envy you
I do not want what you have got
I only wish to see you die
By your own hand
Deprived of all that made you live
Tough fuck, sad but true
Your vision... a reflection of you
Without substance
No reason
[Lead: Schalin]
Yes, I want to spread the truth
To all of you who were seeking truth
But reality behind your veils
Is far beyond your frame of mind
Drained of what you thought was life
You would be like an empty shell
Hollow, used and thrown away
Fragile as crystal in my hand
[Lead: Schalin]
Broken shell, empty and small
What will become of you?
Your life is worth less
Than sand under my feet
Leave deception far behind!
We will never be equal
Because free I stand, rid of lies
But without lies you'd be no more
Can I ever make you see
Or even think like me?
No, you will always feel
Safe like the child
Not knowing his father won't be back
For fire... burn with me
Know me deep inside
For truth... see what I see
Take my hand or fall before me
What makes you strong is what I hate
The plague that heals your wounds
All you believe makes you sane, strong
Immune
Truth would destroy you
You would wish for death
If you saw what I see
And you would die, but I would see
You while you would fall
Before me
Fall before me
Soon you will be
Under my feet
And left behind like all conquered lies
If you could cleanse your soul
And leave deception far behind
We would never be equal
Because free I stand, rid of lies
But without lies you would be no more
I do not envy you
I do not want what you have got
I only wish to see you die
By your own hand
Deprived of all that made you live
Tough fuck, sad but true
Your vision... a reflection of you
Without substance
No reason
[Lead: Schalin]
Yes, I want to spread the truth
To all of you who were seeking truth
But reality behind your veils
Is far beyond your frame of mind

For truth... see what I see
Take my hand or fall before me

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
