[Verse]
Wallow in darkness and everlasting pain
This signals defiance to bring forth mankind's gain
This nation's compliance to what is fed to them
May lead to disaster unless a change is made

[Refrain]
I will not be swept aside
Nor will I change inside
But I'll fear not compromise
To benefit mankind

[Chorus]
Now pride
Is our enemy
For salvation
This we must believe

Now pride (now pride)
Is our enemy
For salvation (for salvation)
This we must believe

[Breakdown]
Go!

[Bridge]
I will not be swept aside
I will not be

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
I will not be swept aside
