Defender Lyrics by TENTS

2018

[Verse 1]
When the fog sneaks up the bay
And when sirens call your name
I beside you will remain
I'll remind you of the day

[Chorus]
You were just a boy
Trying to pretend
Pleasing all your mentors
Though never quite convinced
Now you are much older
Free to skip the test
Now it's time to rest
Now it's time to rest

[Verse 2]
Should the wicked man remain
Bring you loneliness and pain
I'll defend you to the grave
I'll remind you of the day

[Chorus]
You were just a boy
Trying to pretend
Pleasing all your mentors
Though never quite convinced
Now you are much older
Free to skip the test
Now it's time to rest

[Outro]
From now on
No regret
Lift my head
Try my best
In hush hush, little one
Hush hush, little ones in my head
All my courage, all my bones
Left my body, hit the road
Come and visit me, I'll be home
I am here
