Steven Keene - I Will Not Follow
текст песни

I WILL NOT FOLLOW

I WILL NOT FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS
DESPITE WHAT YOU THINK AND BELIEVE IS BEST
AND I WILL NOT TAKE FROM THE HAND THAT FEEDS
NO MATTER THE HUNGER, NO MATTER THE NEED

WITH A GLIMMER OF HOPE AND A RIGHTEOUS PLEA
LET IT RING FROM THE MOUNTAINS SO ALL SOULS CAN SEE

AND THAT DAY WILL COME AND WE WON'T ASK WHEN
WHERE A DOOR MAY CLOSE, ONE WILL OPEN AGAIN

I WILL NOT FEAR THE PATH ALL ALONE
I'LL TAKE EACH STEP ALL ON MY OWN
I WILL NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF THE TRUTH
I'LL QUESTION THE TREE THAT BEARS THE STRANGE FRUIT

LET IT RUN IN YOUR VEINS
FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR FEET
LET IT STEEP IN YOUR SOUL, LET IT RUN, LET IT BLEED

FROM FATHER TO SON THE POISON SEED
YOU CAN'T RAISE THE CAIN WHEN IT'S CUT IN THE FEED

I WILL NOT TASTE FROM THE SPOON THAT IS FED
I'LL QUESTION THE MOTIVE OF EVERY WORD SAID

I WILL NOT JUDGE HIM, HER OR SHE
FOR THERE IS NO BROTHER LESSER THAN ME

QUESTION THE RIGHT, QUESTION THE WRONG
FIGHT THE LAW TIL' THE LAW COMES UNDONE

AND WE'LL NEVER REST ON WHAT WILL BE WILL BE
AND I'LL KNOW MY SONG WELL BEFORE I WILL SING
