I was a henchman, I was a thug
Of the almighty, of the above
But in time, I found subservience was boring
I was a henchman, and I acted tough
'Cause I feared his anger, I feared his love
Yet behind that golden curtain, there was nothing
But a host of empty threats and whispered nothings
I'm free, I'm free from his authority
I'm free, I'm free from his authority
I'm free (I'm free), I'm free (I'm free)
I'm free and that's the way it's gonna stay
I'll be coming home today
That's the way it's gonna stay
No false gods above me
One, two
I was a henchman, I was a thug
