Lyrics
A thousand men.
Might fall down at my Right.
A thousand more at my Left.
I won't be touched.
Your will, it will be done.
I won't be Touched.
Read them Their eyes.
Read them their rights.
A thousand men.
Might fall down at my right and left...
I won't be touched.
Read them their eyes.
Read them their Rights.
Terror in the eyes of my enemy.

Meaning & Inspiration
Light Blue Collar uses terse, confrontational language to depict confidence in the face of overwhelming opposition. The image of a thousand falling on either side closely echoes Psalm 91, where danger surrounds the faithful person without gaining the final word. Against that threat, the repeated statement that God’s will shall be done gives the song a clear point of theological dependence: security rests in divine rule rather than in the number or terror of enemies.
The lyrics do not explain the conflict in detail, and their commands remain deliberately stark. Even so, the biblical allusion frames the defiance as trust under pressure rather than a claim that hardship cannot occur. Psalm 91 presents God as refuge amid terror, while the prayer for God’s will reflects submission to his authority. The result is a compact meditation on courage, judgment, and steadfastness when fear appears to have every visible advantage.
