Mark Forster Lyrics
"Bow Before You"

There's a house on the hill
We used to dream of
But no one lives there anymore, hmm hmm
They were taken by the dream
Of a better life
On the fiftieth floor, hmm

Do you remember how we spoke
And all those things we said we'd do
Well it's all changed now, hmm
Like the photos of the house
That we dreamed of
All the colours faded out, hmm

I won't bow before you now
You're not a saint
I won't bow before you now

All the stories that you tell
Of your riches and your wealth, ah
They don't make you a better man
Did you ever count the cost
Of the ones that you've lost
Making sense of what you'll never understand, oh

I won't bow before you now
You're not a saint
I won't bow before you now

We believed all the words
That they sold us
From the banker to the priest, hmm
Just one taste is all it takes to start that downward spiral
Now Jeckyl's hiding from the beast, hmm

I won't bow before you now
We're not the same
I won't bow before you now

All the stories that you tell
Of your riches and your wealth, ah
They don't make you a better man
Did you ever count the cost
Of the ones that you've lost
Making sense of what you'll never understand, oh

I won't bow before you now
We're not the same
I won't bow before you now

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

I won't bow before you now
You're not a saint
I won't bow before you now
We're not the same
I won't bow before you now
You're not a saint
I won't bow before you now
