The World Is A Thorn lyrics

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 today

Can't you see the fabric of our standards wearing thin?

See your world in its grave at the hands of the enslaved

Won'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 defy

Oh, 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 lies

Won'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 defy

This is what you try to sell me

Subjective nothingness

Pull your sickness from my throat

Let me breathe the truth

Let me breathe the truth

Won'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
