Underground Petra

Look at the front page, turn on the TV
They fire another round at you and me
Their guns are loaded, they're taking aim
Nobody told them we're not all the same
No paranoia, nobody could
Just write it off as being Hollywood
The innuendo between the lines
Leaves no confusion 'bout what's on their minds, oh...

I won't go underground
I won't turn and flee
I won't bow the knee
I won't go underground
I won't run and hide
From the rising tide
I won't go underground
I won't compromise
What the world denies
I won't go underground
And I'm not ashamed
Of the cross I've claimed

No! Listen!

They're taking notes on what we say
You know they'd like to lock us all away
Can't stop the movement, can't make it slow
Persecution always makes us grow
They got my number, it's no surprise
I'm here and wearing no disguise
Bring on the lions and heat up the fire
It's not enough to stop this man's desire, no!
