🎶 Lyrics:

[Verse 1] (Driving guitar riff) You try to tie my hands with your red tape You try to lock the door so there is no escape You measure out the steps, you count the grain You try to bind the Spirit with a rusty chain But you forgot one thing in your little plan You're talking to the Maker, the Son of Man!

[Chorus] (Music explodes into big, open chords) 🎶 I AM THE LORD OF THE SABBATH! I AM THE LORD OF THE DAY! I HOLD THE TIME IN MY HAND! I AM THE TRUTH AND THE WAY! RELIGION CANNOT HOLD ME! THE RULES CANNOT BIND! I'M LEAVING YOUR TRADITIONS FAR BEHIND! 🎶

[Verse 2] (Bass-driven verse) You care about the sheep falling in the pit But you don't care about the man who has to sit With a withered hand and a broken soul You miss the heart of God, you miss the goal It is lawful to do good! It is lawful to save! I am not a servant, I am not a slave!

[Chorus] (Massive and anthemic) 🎶 I AM THE LORD OF THE SABBATH! I AM THE LORD OF THE DAY! I HOLD THE TIME IN MY HAND! I AM THE TRUTH AND THE WAY! RELIGION CANNOT HOLD ME! THE RULES CANNOT BIND! I'M LEAVING YOUR TRADITIONS FAR BEHIND! 🎶

[Guitar Solo] (A fast, blues-based rock guitar solo screaming freedom)

[Outro] (Driving rhythm) Mercy! Not sacrifice! I am the Lord! [Yeah!]
