The Might Of One (a Kyrielle)

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
