[Verse 1]
Your heavy hateful gaze places
All the weight and blame right on my shoulders
Meant to bring me down to the ground and shiver
While the room gets colder and colder
You thought it worked out all so well
(You thought you sent me down to hell)
You thought it worked out all so well
But know that I'm not dead yet
No, I'm not dead yet

[Chorus]
And how the mighty mock the weak
I'm not one of them, so here's a promise I will keep
And I swear, I will be free
Never again, rule over me

[Verse 2]
Well, you can try to bring me down to a place
Where I feel guilty, lost, and lonely
I won't let that happen, now
You can try your best, but I won't let you break me
I should have seen the signs were there
But I could never be prepared
I should have seen the signs were there
But I wouldn't accept it, I was scared
No, I'm not dead yet
[Chorus]
And how the mighty mock the weak
I'm not one of them, so here's a promise I will keep
And I swear, I will be free
Never again, rule over me

[Bridge]
Well, I'm not scared!
I'll make it through, somehow!
This isn't over, now!
All of my fears...
I'll overcome somehow!
I'll overcome somehow!

[Chorus]
And how the mighty mock the weak
I'm not one of them, so here's a promise I will keep
And I swear, I will be free
Never again, rule over me
