about

This is the second song that we wrote, following Bouncing Betty, and it is definitely a crowd favorite. It's a song about people who are put into positions of power and become corrupt and overconfident with this newly attained power. So there's this feeling of "we will stand against you" in the song, and it also has a slight Christian reference to it with the line "You Are Not God." Meaning that there is only one true king, and only one true leader, and you are not that person.

lyrics

You swear you rule this place and we all follow you.
The truth is in your face.
We do what as we choose.

Stop lying to yourself.
You're not the one we follow.
Every lie you throw at us, just like your heart, is hollow.

I can't stand the sight of you.
Or the lies you put us through.
You're not one to hold us down.
I can't stand the sight of...

I can't stand the sight.
I can't stand the sight of you.
I can't stand the sight.
I can't stand the sight of...
YOU!!

Separating the weak from the strong,
We all stand tall to show you what's right from wrong.
Shutting out the lies you've fed to us.
This generation was built on trust.
We will stand tall!
To oppose false leaders like you.
We will not fall.
Fighting for our freedom through and through.

On this night we stand all together now.
Let the light shine over this whole town.
As our voices ring through these darkened clouds,
Let our light shine.

You are not eternal.
You are not our true king.
We will not stand for this,
We will not stand.

I pray and pray that you will see that...
You. Are. Not... GOD!!

You are not God.
