[Intro] One voice One law One hand Above them all Stand straight Eyes down You know what happens now [Verse 1] You can build your little kingdom You can call yourself a king You can decorate your freedom Like it ever meant a thing Every city needs an order Every order needs a hand Someone has to make the choices Someone has to make you understand [Pre-Chorus] Fear keeps every door locked tight Fear makes every soldier fight Hope can whisper Love can plead But fear Gets what it needs [Chorus] Kneel Before the Black Hand Kneel You know where you stand Bane Bane Order written into stone Bane Bane Every throne becomes my own You can fight You can run You can curse what I've become But when the banners fill the sky You kneel Or you defy And everyone Eventually Kneels [Post-Chorus] March Left Right March Day Night One voice One will Obey Be still [Verse 2] People say they want their freedom Till the streets begin to burn Then they beg for someone stronger Someone telling where to turn Give them rules and give them borders Give them enemies to blame Give them something they can fear And they will follow All the same [Pre-Chorus] Fear can make a coward brave Fear can turn the free to slaves Truth is useful When it serves Power takes What it deserves [Chorus] Kneel Before the Black Hand Kneel You know where you stand Bane Bane Order written into stone Bane Bane Every throne becomes my own You can fight You can run You can curse what I've become But when the banners fill the sky You kneel Or you defy And everyone Eventually Kneels [Verse 3] I don't need you to adore me I don't care what prayers you say Love is fickle Faith can weaken Fear wakes up with you each day Let the righteous talk of mercy Let the heroes talk of choice When a million people tremble They all listen To one voice [Pre-Chorus] No confusion No debate Strength decides And strength creates Every question Has an end When the answer Can command [Chorus] Kneel Before the Black Hand Kneel You know where you stand Bane Bane Order written into stone Bane Bane Every throne becomes my own You can fight You can run You can curse what I've become But when the banners fill the sky You kneel Or you defy And everyone Eventually Kneels [Bridge] You call me tyrant I call it peace No riots When resistance has ceased You call it terror I call it law Funny how quiet The world becomes When everyone knows What they saw No chaos No choice No argument One voice No weakness No doubt Those who obey May live it out [Breakdown] Black Hand Raised high Black banners Black sky One ruler One command The whole world In one hand [Build] March March Keep the rhythm March March Fall in line March March Fear behind you Bane before you All in time [Final Chorus] Kneel Before the Black Hand Kneel Now you understand Bane Bane Every city Every throne Bane Bane Every will becomes my own You can fight You can run But the age of choice is done When the Black Hand fills the sky You kneel Or you defy And if one ruler Rules them all There is nowhere left To fall Bane Bane One world One will Kneel [Outro] One voice One law One hand Above them all No cheering No sound Just knees Touching The ground.
