[Verse 1: James Durbin] Sitting high atop the mountain, over all there is to see The dark side of a rainbow touched the Earth beside of me From the sky descends the wizard, as he spreads his hands apart Manifesting right before me, holding out the sacred heart [Pre-Chorus: James Durbin] He says, "You, you are the defender of the land From the hills to the horizon From the holy to the desperate and the damned" [Chorus: James Durbin & Chris Jericho] He said "You are thе kings before you That reignеd before you became the heir to the throne And like the kings before you I can assure you will never stand alone, no no" [Verse 2: Chris Jericho] When your kingdom is collapsing, your fortress disappears Every serpent's in a whisper, coiling lies round your era Shed the dead skin from around you, purge what enemies are near Moving fast to burn their bridges, guiding lights will soon appear [Pre-Chorus: Chris Jericho] Yes, you, you are the defender of the land From the hills to the horizon From the holy to the desperate and the damned [Chorus: James Durbin & Chris Jericho] He said "You are the kings before you That reigned before you became the heir to the throne And like the kings before you I can assure you will never stand alone, no no" [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Chris Jericho & James Durbin] Before I leave you on the mountain, you must stare into my eyes See your failures and your fortunes, you've now lived a thousand lives There's no future in your past, there's no flaw in my design Keep your head and keep your horns sharp, you'll understand in time [Chorus: James Durbin & Chris Jericho] You are the kings before you That reigned before you became the heir to the throne And like the kings before you I can assure you will never stand alone You are the kings before you That reigned before you became the heir to the throne And like the kings before you I can assure you will never stand alone, no no [Outro: James Durbin & Chris Jericho] No no No no No
