They made a statue painted gold
Told me to bend my knee
It really don't make sense
To praise something when it can't breathe
Like they say to do
They tried to change my name
And told me who I was born to be
My heart was racing
Raging in a war that doesn't cease
It always fights
My own demise
They can't have my soul
No, I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down
Another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes
There's another man there too
They led me down
Through the town
And brought me to that king
The only king that I fear is
He who lives in me
He can save me from the flames
And if He don't, I'll burn for Him
They can't have my soul
No, I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down
Another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes
There's another man there too
They grabbed my wrist
And clinched their fist
And threw me in those flames
On my shoulder was
The hand of another man
He said just five words
"I'm there through the worst"
They can't have my soul
No, I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down
Another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes
There's another man there too
They can't have my soul
No, I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down
Another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes
There's another man there too
