I try to speak out But the rope hangs on my neck I hear the sounds of sharpening' axes And the torches have been lit To set the fire Get crucified for Stepping out of line Hang me on gallows Burn me with fire Decapitate me with an axe But I won't turn away I won't shut my trap They spit and curse your name For speaking the truth Killing people In the name of Kings & Gods Being stoned and burnt For defying the tyrant The gold turns to serpents In his hands Hang me on gallows Burn me with fire Decapitate me with an axe But I won't turn away I won't shut my trap Tell me, what has been Shattered by the centuries? What age we're living in? What age we are living in? Decapitate me with an axe But I won't turn away I won't shut my trap I won't stand in a line I won't shut my trap Be loyal to the king But was this king Ever loyal to his people? Was he? The king we want? The king we need? The king we want? The king we need?
