Disciple's 'Regime Change' is a hard-hitting rock song about spiritual transformation and breaking free from old sinful patterns. The lyrics describe a personal battle against complacency and violence, symbolized by tearing down and building up. The singer declares a desire for change, recognizing a 'king on a borrowed throne' and the need for emancipation. The song culminates in a farewell to an 'old friend,' representing the old self or sinful nature, as a new regime takes over. It's a raw, intense expression of surrender and the internal struggle for redemption.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Build it up, I'll tear it down
My finger in the strings connected to your hands
I dance the mockery, a theme of decadence
Now I am sinking in this violence
This time, emancipation is my right
This is what I want, for you to die
This is what I want, to be alive
Scene of complacency, an apathetic mind
But when it's brought to light, I see a king on a borrowed throne
Right now, the violence taking over
This time, regimes are changing in my mind
I'm so sorry, my old friend, I'm leaving you tonight
So caught in this moment, the last breath of your life
