Defiance Lyrics by Syr

Syr

2015

[Verse 1]
We will ride on chariots of fire
Through the city of iniquities
We will burn their idols to the ground
As we dance on a tyrannical legacy
For they have learned we will not bow
Though the legions march upon
Broken backs and furrowed brows
But we will carry on

[Chorus]
For we have lost
More than we ever knew we had
But we remain defiant
To an empire's commands
Oh, I know that we have lost
More than we ever knew we had
But wе remain defiant
To an empirе's commands

[Verse 2]
We will march through rivers of despair
To reach the heart of the enemy
We will let our faith carry us there
As we send them to their eternity
For they have learned we won't submit
Though they try to break our hope
But they are just an obstacle
On our way back home

[Chorus]
For we have lost
More than we ever knew we had
But we remain defiant
To an empire's commands
Oh, I know that we have lost
More than we ever knew we had
But we remain defiant
To an empire's commands

[Bridge]
Oh, merciless sun bearing down upon
Those who walk through the fields at dawn
Merciless sun bearing down upon
Those who walk through the fields at dawn
Merciless sun bearing down upon
Those who walk through the fields at dawn
Merciless sun bearing down upon
Those who walk through the fields at dawn

At dawn

[Chorus]
For we have lost
More than we ever knew we had
But we remain defiant
To an empire's commands
Oh, I know that we have lost
More than we ever knew we had
But we remain defiant
To an empire's commands
