Persecution - Judas Priest

Judas Priest - Persecution
Against their holy laws
I'll do whatever it takes
I've met their kind before
We're martyrs burned at their stake
They try to dominate
I'll be the thorn in their side
They underestimate
The willpower feeding my pride
Under the hand of persecution
Under the hand of persecution
Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution
Defy the institution
Defy the institution
Their words just crucify
Condemning truth that I seek
They cannot justify
The pain, the havoc they wreak
I never will conform
I never will conform
My faith is deep to the core
My faith is deep to the core
I stand against reform
I stand against reform
I'll never kneel down before
I'll never kneel down before
With raised fists of fire
As they conspire
I'll be defiant
Against the alliance
They will not eradicate me
Break my will or suffocate me
I will subjugate the hate
That they breed
As the church interrogates
I cannot see they supplicate me
Execute and ridicule
We're all freed
The hand of persecution
Defy the instituation
