[Verse 1] As I cross. I see, so far away The land i called my home has gone astray Unto a different kind of want my conscience lay I kept the grit in my teeth And the names in my scroll Every door got a watcher Every house, lost a vote I learned the shape of fear In the crease of a flag Now the old road bends hard And memories drag at my back [Pre-Chorus] Look here, —it aint silent 'cause it's safe. Safe being a relative term, —anyway So keep your — head on a swivel! 'Cause if they— catch you now, They will force you to Bow.......... [Chorus] Bow, Bow (bow) bow down to your knees! Pleade for your life, through tears in your eyes And maybe then we'll see 'Cause its, —Domination and Zeal, For The One on The Throne! Make 'em bend, make 'em kneel! Until they swear on the crown. Break em down. (Break em down) Bow, Bow (bow) bow down to your knees! Pleade for your life, through tears in your eyes And maybe then we'll see 'Cause its, —Domination and Zeal, For The One on The Throne! Make 'em bend, make 'em kneel! Until they swear on the crown. Break em down. (Break em down) [Verse 2] I saw the smoke from the valley But before I heard who to blame Mothers at the market Spelling out the same old game Hands in the air like winter Knuckles white with need So I bit my tongue in prudence And I swallowed all my pride Kept one eye on the ledge And one eye on my guide Now the bells ring cold Through the ribs of the town And every prayer becomes shackles If you don't bow down [Pre-Chorus] Look here, —it aint silent 'cause it's safe. Safe being a relative term, —anyway So keep your — head on a swivel! 'Cause if they— catch you now, They will force you to Bow.......... [Chorus] Bow, Bow (bow) bow down to your knees! Pleade for your life, through tears in your eyes And maybe then we'll see 'Cause its, —Domination and Zeal, For The One on The Throne! Make 'em bend, make 'em kneel! Until they swear on the crown. Break em down. (Break em down) Bow, Bow (bow) bow down to your knees! Pleade for your life, through tears in your eyes And maybe then we'll see 'Cause its, —Domination and Zeal, For The One on The Throne! Make 'em bend, make 'em kneel! Until they swear on the crown. Break em down. (Break em down) [Bridge] Let the truth come through Great as a horn I won't trade my name For a smaller thorn Let the wall come down Let the empire crack If they come for my soul I'll fire back (fire back) [Final Chorus] Bow, Bow (bow) bow down to your knees! Pleade for your life, through tears in your eyes And maybe then we'll see 'Cause its, —Domination and Zeal, For The One on The Throne! Make 'em bend, make 'em kneel! Until they swear on the crown. Break em down. (Break em down) Bow, Bow (bow) bow down to your knees! Pleade for your life, through tears in your eyes And maybe then we'll see 'Cause its, —Domination and Zeal, For The One on The Throne! Make 'em bend, make 'em kneel! Until they swear on the crown. Break em down. (Break em down)
