(You Won't Bring Me) Down / Celebration

from In Which Aktaeon Is Torn Asunder by Gavin Burgess

/

about

A genre-hopping ripper of a track filled with defiance and a raised middle finger to anyone who tries to stand in the way of a man on a mission.

If you love dark spooky verses, thundering heavy metal choruses, and the sound of a crowd cheering along to a Celtic reel it's all right here for you.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I’ve only one thing left to say to you
I don’t care what you think
I don’t care what you do
You’ve done your worst
You’ve done your best
To take me out
To make a mess

You’re spewing poison like a sewer pie
You’re dripping venom
You’re full of spite

You, try all you like
This is My Life
No touching me
You’ll see
You won’t bring me down

Your blood is toxic in their veins
When the kids have flown your pigeons will come home again (again)

You can sharpen your knives
Machinate my demise
You can play your sick games
And go calling me names
Keep on spreading your lies
Even spit in my eye
In my heart I am free
And you’ll see
You won’t bring me down
