Old Music Tuesdays: Fit for a King “The Resistance”

I was going to do something completely different for this Old Music Tuesday. However, on my drive home Sunday night, Fit for a King’s song The Resistance came up on my random playlist. A lot of times when I listen to metal, I’m not really paying attention to the lyrics, but this time I was. After listening and reflecting on the lyrics, I had to share.

I think Fit for a King really captured my attitude and thoughts about what’s happening in the world, politically. We are ruled by a group of liars and murderers who demand our money and our loyalty while they literally rain death from above and put us into destitution while stealing all they can. The line “You’ve taken everything” really speaks to me. (I’ve included the complete lyrics to the song, below.)

The members of Fit for a King are younger than me, and I am reminded that my generation and the ones following have been completely screwed by the system that we’re still expected to pay into. Will this generation be “the generation that takes a stand against those who claim to be kings?” I think so, but time will tell. Usually, people do not speak up until they have lost everything. We need to wake up.

Lyrics

I will make sure that you see my face in the crowd
Locking in on my stare that will cut through your wretched ways
You will never take us alive
Scum of the earth will rise to the top and give us all “facts”
That are manufactured
And without pursuing knowledge on their own
We embrace the plans of the dead
(You all need to wake up)

Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I’m not a part of you
You’ve taken everything
I won’t be the one that stands in the darkness
Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I’m not a part of you
You’ve taken everything
I won’t be the one that stands in the darkness

We will be a generation that makes a stand
Against the ones who call themselves kings
They will take away everything
Before we have a chance to speak
We all need to wake up
They lead us in
Like sheep to the slaughter
We all need to wake up
We all need to wake up

Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I’m not a part of you
You’ve taken everything
I won’t be the one that stands in the darkness

These words go out to those
Who sit on their throne of lies
May they not be taken lightly
Your existence disgusts me!
We will be the resistance

Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I’m not a part of you
You’ve taken everything
I won’t be the one that stands in the darkness
Every word you say
Is wasted on every breath you take
So forgive me
I’m not a part of you
You’ve taken everything
I won’t be the one that stands in the darkness.
