📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A faraway gavel beat over the wire
Like thunder with nowhere to stand
But the courthouse bell in the smoke and fire
Was forged by a local hand

[Pre-Chorus]
If the oath was never spoken
Then the chain is already broken

[Chorus]
No foreign crown, no shadow throne
No iron hand on a house we own
Ring that bell till the walls come down
We do not bow to a foreign crown

[Verse 2]
Let every ruler answer near
Let every law show its face
A nameless bench may traffic in fear
But it cannot inherit this place

[Bridge]
We know our scars, we know our blame
We keep our books in our own name

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
No foreign crown, no shadow throne
No iron hand on a house we own
Ring that bell till the walls come down
We do not bow to a foreign crown
