[Verse 1] Your god is the one true god Well so is mine Yours is the only faith of love Well so is mine I should respect your faith Yet you don’t respect mine [Pre-Chorus] I should live under your religious law But you would throw mine away You never wanted understanding You only wanted obedience [Chorus] Not your law Not your law You don’t get my soul Not your law Not your law I will stand my own [Verse 2] You speak of mercy Then tighten the chain You quote the holy Then call me ashamed I brought my hands open You came with rules Told me to kneel down Told me to lose [Pre-Chorus] I should live under your religious law But you would throw mine away You never wanted understanding You only wanted obedience [Chorus] Not your law Not your law You don’t get my soul Not your law Not your law I will stand my own [Bridge] If love is the answer Why do you strike? If truth is your banner Why fear my light? I can hear your voice Through the iron and smoke But I will not break I will not go [Final Chorus] Not your law Not your law You don’t get my soul Not your law Not your law I will stand my own Not your law Not your law You don’t get my soul Not your law Not your law I will stand my own
