[Intro]
We're watching you
Nowhere to hide
Obey the holy laws
Repent for your sins
There is but one God
[Verse 1]
Against their holy laws
I'll do whatever it takes
I've met their kind before
We're martyrs burned at their stake
[Verse 2]
They try to dominate
I'll be a thorn in their side
They underestimate
The willpower feeding my pride
[Chorus]
Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution
[Verse 3]
Their words just crucify
Condemning truth that I seek
They cannot justify
The pain, the havoc they wreak
[Verse 4]
I never will conform
My faith is deep to the core
I stand against reform
I'll never kneel down before
[Chorus]
Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution
[Verse 5]
With raised fists of fire
As they conspire
I'll be defiant
Against the alliance
[Bridge]
They will not eradicate me
Break my will or suffocate me
I will subjugate the hate
That they breed
As the church interrogates
I cannot see they supplicate me
Execute and ridicule
We're all freed
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 6]
I never will conform
My faith is deep to the core
I stand against reform
I'll never kneel down before
[Chorus]
Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution
Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution
[Refrain]
Persecute
You defy
Execute crucify
Crucify
[Refrain]
Persecute
You defy
Execute crucify
Crucify
[Refrain]
Persecute
You defy
Execute crucify
Crucify
[Outro]
Persecute
You defy
You survive
