Bow Before You Songtext / Lyric

There's a house on the hill

We used to dream of

But no one lives there anymore

They were taken by the dream of a better life

On the 50th floor



Do you remember how we spoke

and all those things we said we'd do

Well it's all changed now

Like the photos of the house that we dreamed of

All the colours faded out



I won't bow before you now

You're not a saint

I won't bow before you now



All the stories that you tell

Of your riches and your wealth

They don't make you a better man

Did you ever count the cost

Of the ones that you've lost

Making sense of what you'll never understand






I won't bow before you now

You're not a saint

I won't bow before you now



We believed all the words that they sold us

From the banker to the priest

Just one taste is all it takes to start that downward spiral

Now Jeckyl's hiding from the beast



I won't bow before you now

We're not the same

I won't bow before you now



All the stories that you tell

Of your riches and your wealth

They don't make you a better man

Did you ever count the cost

Of the ones that you've lost

Making sense of what you'll never understand



I won't bow before you now

We're not the same

I won't bow before you now



I will fight to the death

For the pride that I've left

I won't be a slave to your lies

And now time has stood still

For that house on the hill

And I've washed my hands of the devil that's inside



I won't bow before you now

You're not a saint

I won't bow before you now

We're not the same

I won't bow before you now

You're not a saint



I won't bow before you now
