The World Is a Thorn
Defiance Against a World's Corrupted System
Lyrics
The gavel has fallen, along with the rest.
The decision has been made, and along with others, we've accepted it.
Are we expected to settle for this?
Are we supposed to accept and conform to this situation?
Bring us the plague, lead us away.
Bring us a destructive force, lead us astray.
Blacken tomorrow with ash of today.
Darken the future with the remnants of today.
Can't you see the fabric of our standards wearing thin?
Can't you see our moral standards deteriorating?
See your world in its grave at the hands of the enslaved.
Witness your world in ruins because of those who are oppressed.
Won't bow to man.
Refusing to submit to humanity.
Won't bow to government.
Refusing to submit to the government.
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust.
Rejecting trust in a flawed system driven by self-indulgent desires.
Won't love a world where my God is mocked. I defy.
Rejecting love for a world where the speaker's God is ridiculed. Defiant.
Oh, a kiss on the serpent's head.
A symbolic act of betrayal, likened to a kiss on the serpent's head.
We walk in the line of deceit, the walking dead.
Living a life of deception, resembling the walking dead.
Can't you feel the ground of our discretion giving way?
Sensing the foundations of our discretion crumbling.
Refusal of hope, solution demise.
Rejecting hope, leading to the downfall of solutions.
Bury the truth in a mountain of lies.
Concealing the truth under a mountain of lies.
Won't bow to man.
Refusing to submit to humanity.
Won't bow to government.
Refusing to submit to the government.
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust.
Rejecting trust in a flawed system driven by self-indulgent desires.
Won't love a world where my God is mocked.
Rejecting love for a world where the speaker's God is ridiculed. Defiant.
I defy.
This is what you try to sell me.
Rejecting what is being offered, characterized as subjective nothingness.
Subjective nothingness.
Referring to an absence of meaning or value.
Pull your sickness from my throat.
Rejecting negativity or corruption represented by sickness.
Let me breathe the truth.
Desiring to breathe in the truth.
Let me breathe the truth.
Reiterating the desire to breathe in the truth.
Won't bow to man.
Refusing to submit to humanity.
Won't bow to government.
Refusing to submit to the government.
Won't bow to greed.
Refusing to submit to greed.
Won't bow to false hope.
Rejecting false hope.
Won't bow to self.
Refusing to submit to oneself.
Won't bow to modern code.
Refusing to submit to modern societal norms.
Won't sell my soul to a dead world. I defy.
Refusing to surrender one's integrity to a spiritually lifeless world. Defiant.
