[Verse 1] Chains bite the wrists Dust on the tongue Names in the dark Still the prayer stays sung They came with fire They came with knives “Say He is dead” We choose our lives But not like that Not in the ash Not for a moment Not for a flash [Pre-Chorus] We heard the roar We saw the blade Still every heart Was already made The blood may fall The body bend But faith stands taller At the end [Chorus] Live or die We will not deny Live or die His name burns high Break these bones Take the breath from me I won’t bow down For all to see Live or die We will not deny (We will not deny) Live or die His name burns high [Verse 2] Mothers were weeping Sons met the dawn Faces in chains But the fire was gone Not from the torch Not from the pain But from the fear It could not remain They asked for one word One little lie But truth in the chest Would not let it die [Pre-Chorus] We heard the roar We saw the blade Still every heart Was already made The blood may fall The body bend But faith stands taller At the end [Chorus] Live or die We will not deny Live or die His name burns high Break these bones Take the breath from me I won’t bow down For all to see Live or die We will not deny (We will not deny) Live or die His name burns high [Bridge] If this is the end Let it be true With fire in front And heaven in view No crown of gold No throne of pride Only the Lamb And the faithful side [Breakdown] Kneel? Never Bend? Never Fade? Never Deny? Never Kneel? Never Bend? Never Fade? Never Deny? Never [Final Chorus] Live or die We will not deny Live or die His name burns high Break these bones Take the breath from me I won’t bow down For all to see Live or die We will not deny (We will not deny) Live or die His name burns high We will not deny (We will not deny) We will not deny His name burns high
