Defiler Lyrics by Paradise Lost

Obsidian

2020

[Verse 1]
Rise and fall
Beyond the law, beyond the danger
To rise above, command in blood
Rise and fall
Beyond the cause, beyond endangered
A call above
Damned by war, damned by failure
The unstoppable threat bound to evolve
The unstoppable threat lost all control

[Chorus]
Like a child in arms we dwell
You can turn the tide of dreams we've held
Like a child in arms we dwell
Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?

[Verse 2]
Rise and fall
Beyond the law, beyond the danger
A call above, command in blood
Rise at dawn
Beyond the law, beyond all hatred
A call above
Damned by war, damned by nature

[Chorus]
Like a child in arms we dwell
You can turn the tide of dreams we've held
Like a child in arms we dwell
Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?

[Bridge]
Foolish tyrant compelled
Foolish tyrant repels

[Chorus]
Like a child in arms we dwell
You can turn the tide of dreams we've held
Like a child in arms we dwell
Who controls the mind that drifts?
Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?
