If you want my head
take it, but you'll never have my heart
for I have seen the way your countless atrocities
are spun into gold and the glory of your god
shines only in your endless cruelty
So let it be known
I would sooner stretch my neck
across the chopping block
than bow at your feet
I have no home in this prison with gilded bars
so I can offer no allegiance only a pledge to...
Resist
with every ounce of life
with every beat of my heart
All that I can give
everything that I am can
so easily disappear
like grass blown by the wind
but I cannot embrace that which kills all I love
so draw the line and count me as an enemy
If I am to fail
I will find more peace
hanging from the gallows
than dangling as your marionette
sometimes all I feel
are sorrow and rage
but as long as I am drawing breath I will...
Resist
until I've lost all I can lose
until there's nothing left of me
The hour grows late as the shadow
of the unspeakable spreads
striking the masses deaf and blind
and it takes a loud voice
to make the deaf hear
so for the last time
let it ring that I will...
Resist
after all hope has died
the vision lives on
