I will not bend, my heart is true
and I will not kowtow to you
I do not fear your will on me
I am the might of one you see
I'm not alone nor have I been
truth holds us fast from your dark sin
and so wave not your flag at thee
I am the might of one you see
So turn your words around and 'round
till down is up and up is down
mine eye will not its gaze be free
I am the might of one you see
a day will come our voice will roar
your thrown will fall, your voice no more
unmasked and all alone you'll be
I am the might of one you see
