The World Is a Thorn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The gavel has fallen, along with the rest
Are we expected to settle for this?
Bring us the plague, lead us away
Blacken tomorrow with ash of today
Can't you see the fabric of our standards wearing thin?
See your world in its grave at the hands of the enslaved

[Chorus]
Won't bow to man
Won't bow to government
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust
Won't love a world where my God is mocked
I defy

[Verse 2]
Oh, a kiss on the serpent's head
We walk in the line of deceit, the walking dead
Can't you feel the ground of our discretion giving way?
Refusal of hope, solution demise
Bury the truth in a mountain of lies

[Chorus]
Won't bow to man
Won't bow to government
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust
Won't love a world where my God is mocked
I defy

[Bridge]
This is what you try to sell me
Subjective nothingness
Pull your sickness from my throat
Let me breathe the truth
Let me breathe the truth

[Outro]
Won't bow to man
Won't bow to government
Won't bow to greed
Won't bow to false hope
Won't bow to self
Won't bow to modern code
Won't sell my soul to a dead world. I defy

About

‘This is another song that follows the theme of battle and adversity. Specifically, The World Is A Thorn is about the things that we are not, and that which we refuse to be. We know our enemy. We will not bow to man or government. We won’t give in to the corrupted ways of the world. Our faith lies in Christ alone.’ – Ryan Clark

“For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.” – 1 Chronicles 16:25-26
