No Gods, No Masters Lyrics

Here I am
Back to the wall
I pick the fight
Against the tide
Free at least
I go my own way
I will resist them
'Til the day I die

I am who I am
My time has come

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart
No gods, no masters
My time has come

There is no sacred place
No perfect world
Your head is home
Freedom in your heart
Be strong
Take this chance
Make your way
A better future calls

I am who I am
My time has come

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart
No gods, no masters
My time has come

No gods, no masters
No gods, no masters

What doesn't kill us
Makes us stronger
Locked and loaded
Ready to strike
Here we stand
Loud and proud
United as one
United as one

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart
No gods, no masters
My time has come

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

If we take in consideration your illiteracy, the rest of your comment makes perfect sense. The album is by far not their best work but it's quite good. In my opinion, it lacks more melodic parts and lyrics are written in the way that they form a strong sense of urgency. So I don't think it's weak, no.

This song is pretty self-explainatory and "I am who I am" is a nice satire of the Biblical text where God tells Moses that same sentence when asked about His identity. On the other hand, Nietzsche's qoute in this song ("What doesn't kill us - Makes us stronger") seems like a needless clichÃ© because it doesn't fit this song that good and Nietzsche sure has a number of anti-authoritarian and anti-religious statements which could fit in better.
