The gavel has fallen along with the rest
Are we expected to settle for this?
Bring us the plague, lead us away
Blacken tomorrow with ash of todayCan't you see the fabric of our standards wearing thin?
See your world in its grave at the hands of the enslavedWon't bow to man, won't bow to government
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust
Won't love a world where my God is mocked
I defyOh, a kiss on the serpent's head
We walk in the line of deceit, the walking dead
Can't you feel the ground of our discretion giving way?
Refusal of hope, solution demise
Bury the truth in a mountain of liesWon't bow to man, won't bow to government
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust
Won't love a world where my God is mocked
I defyThis is what you try to sell me
Subjective nothingness
Pull your sickness from my throat
Let me breathe the truth
Let me breathe the truthWon't bow to man, won't bow to government
Won't bow to greed, won't bow to false hope
Won't bow to self, won't bow to modern code
Won't sell my soul to a dead world
I defy
