'Cause history was written by rebellious sons People shattering kingdoms and thrones overrun For no king, but country risking treason And mouths still shouting freedom when life's done 'Cause history was written by rebellious sons People shattering kingdoms and thrones overrun For no king, but country risking treason And mouths still shouting freedom when life's done And we will not bow to your kings And we will not fall to our knees And we will not bow to your kings And we will not fall to our knees 'Cause bravery will run from conformity And beggars find more riches than royalty The path not walked will lead to a legacy And find a place in History And we will not bow to your kings And we will not fall to our knees And we will not bow to your kings And we will not fall to our knees
