Lyrics[edit]
The human will, that force unseen The offspring of a deathless soul Can hew away to any goal The walls of granite intervene Be not in patient delay, but Wait as one who understands When spirit rises and demands The Gods are ready to obey (The Gods are ready to obey) (The Gods are ready to obey) (The Gods are ready to obey) (The Gods are ready to obey) Take my money like an ugly bee Covered in my honey, too dumb to see My Fibonacci blinded by your jealousy I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow You are what you beat, yeah You are what you beat, yeah And then we met our brand new parents But they didn't know it yet So we chanted, "WED, WED, WED!" But they didn't know they were dead Didn't know they were dead Then the witch tied her fruit to a stick When our coin was looking too thin It's like a winter in Hades, we drooled for the ladies As if the apple was owned by God And then we met our brand new parents But they didn't know it yet So we chanted, "WED, WED, WED!" But they didn't know they were dead Didn't know they were dead Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King You are what you beat, yeah You are what you beat, yeah Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King (You are what you beat) Slave never dreams to be free (yeah) Slave only dreams to be King (You are what you beat) Slave only dreams to be King (You are what you beat) Slave never dreams to be free (yeah)
Trivia[edit]
- Some of the lyrics of the song are inspired by the James Allen[1]. From his piece, The Effect of Thought and Circumstance[2]:
The human will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless soul,
Can hew the way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.
Be not impatient in delays,
But wait, as one who understands.
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.
