THE TRUTH THAT WOULD NOT BEND (Bible Bangerz anthem — drop-ready) Verse 1 James caught the sword in Jerusalem first Herod’s blade, Acts chapter twelve, no verse to reverse Peter asked for the cross the other way round Rome under Nero, head to the ground Andrew stretched on the X in Patras Thomas took the spear on the Indian dust Bartholomew flayed and they still heard the Name They could break the body — they couldn’t break the claim Chorus The truth that would not bend Would not bow, would not blend They died the way they died And the Word still stood Eleven graves and one old man in Ephesus Same fire, same blood The truth that would not bend Verse 2 Philip in Hierapolis, stone and the tree Matthew by the sword where the maps disagree Simon and Jude in the Persian dark Matthias took the lot and then took the mark They had seen the holes They had touched the side They had watched the sky take Him They would not call it a lie Bridge You can boil the oil You can saw the bone You can hang a fisherman upside down You cannot make a witness unsay what he saw The grave is loud The grave is not the last sound Final Chorus The truth that would not bend Play it till the floor gives in They died the way they died So the living would know This is not a rumour that folds in the heat This is the fire that would not let go The truth that would not bend
