Lyrics
Tear down the shrine
Drink all your wine
This golden calf is burning
Turn down the lights
Speak all your goodnights
This holy man is dying
Kings will hide
It's my love that shakes the ground
And you heard me right
I said I will not bow down
Make me
Show the light, and now your eyes
Give him kisses when he cries
When words break down
They shatter
Kings will hide
It's my love that shakes the ground
And you heard me right
I said I will not bow down
Make me
Tell her I'm fine
If I don't come home tonight
Kings will hide
It's my love that shakes the ground
And you heard me right
I said I will not bow down
Make me
Kings will cry
It's my love that burns their eyes
And you heard me right
I am not afraid to die
Take me
