Lyrics: Richard Whaites
Music: Richard Whaites
We have been persecuted
First in the church and now our homes
We worked for a solution
But all we got was broken bones
It's time to take things into our own hands
First queen Elizabeth now James
These royal puppets all the same
They need their subjects to comply
If you don't see things eye to eye
You've got to take things into your own hands
You sir, your wealth has dwindled
From all the fines you've had to pay
Your family name in ruins
'Cause you don't pray in the same way
You've got to take things into your own hands
We need to think of a way to bring the whole ship down
From the edge of his throne we'll throw him to the ground
When he's on the floor we will pick up his crown
That's how you take things into your own hands
We'll think of a way to bring the whole ship down
From the edge of his throne we'll throw him to the ground
When he's on the floor we will pick up his crown
That's how you take things into your own hands
For years we fought and suffered
We thought we'd finally found our peace
His promises were empty
His words were nothing but deceit
That's why we'll take things into our own hands
I once had influence and power but all that's gone and things turned sour
But we can make a real change
They'll only have themselves to blame
When we take things into our own hands
We need to think of a way to bring the whole ship down
From the edge of his throne we'll throw him to the ground
When he's on the floor we will pick up his crown
That's how you take things into your own hands
(Bring the whole ship down)
Take things into our own hands
Take things into our own hands
Take things into our own hands
Into our own hands
