I will not don the Black
I will not bend the Knee
I will not break my Oaths
Or break my Word for thee.
–
Take my Head
Or take my Hand;
Break my Body a Thousand Ways—
My Will shall ever stand.

Just because you own the Law,
Does not make you Right—
Just because you hold the Crown
Does not ignite my Fright.

Just because you own the Law,

Does not ignite my Fright.
