I Will Not Bow

The song features in the 2009 Bruce Willis sci-fi movie Surrogates . According to the I Will Not Bow Songfacts, the song was not written specifically for the film, but according to drummer Chad Szeliga, "Ben sent a few songs to our record label, Hollywood Records," which is owned by Disney, who then decided they "wanted a Breaking Benjamin song for this movie."

[Intro] Fall [Verse 1] Now the dark begins to rise Save your breath It's far from over Leave the lost and dead behind Now's your chance to run for cover I don't want to change the world I just want to leave it colder Light the fuse and burn it up Take the path that leads to nowhere [Pre-Chorus] All is lost again But I'm not giving in [Chorus] I will not bow I will not break I will shut the world away I will not fall I will not fade I will take your breath away [Post-Chorus] Fall [Verse 2] Watch the end through dying eyes Now the dark is taking over Show me where forever dies Take the fall And run to heaven [Pre-Chorus] All is lost again But I'm not giving in [Chorus] I will not bow I will not break I will shut the world away I will not fall I will not fade I will take your breath away And I'll survive Paranoid I have lost the will to change And I am not proud Coldblooded fake I will shut the world away [Bridge] Open your eyes! [Chorus] I will not bow I will not break I will shut the world away I will not fall I will not fade I will take your breath away And I'll survive Paranoid I have lost the will to change And I am not proud Coldblooded fake I will shut the world away [Outro] Fall
