Defy the Skies
He can not eat, he can not sleep, he can not see that death is coming, I know there’s nothing more I can do In fits and dreams he speaks to me, he says these things beyond belief; I can not take his words as truth He comes to say his piece... I know he’s travelled so far to find me in this landscape, perilous and full of unknown treachery And now he’s giving his life to tell me things I can’t face, how could I betray his utter trust in me? CHORUS: And with his final breath he, imparts his vital prophecy… Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all Don’t delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn I must prepare for the path before me, ever daunting, indemnify for my naiveté And I can no longer hide away pretending nothing, when the world is ending right in front of me CHORUS And to bring honour to his soul, I will accept this righteous role This nameless prophet that could see, that which resides inside of me Deep inside, I reconcile my fear Sustain my sickening apathy for good For the worthiest of men, but a promise escapes me Wicked blood will run CHORUS

This night my son, keep your eyes to the sky, against the black see their shadows for miles They come with vengeance and hate in their hearts, it’s time, they fly, prepare There’s no escape when they take to the air So come on over, to the other side, where it is colder CHORUS: Hear tell of these wingless angels flight, escaping through the night Racing over silent mountain sentries, soaring for their lives They’ve chosen their side there is no going back, and Heaven’s gates they are closing for good So when they fight they will fight to the end, it’s time, unite, defend And they’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with men So come on over, to the other side, where you are stronger CHORUS Cast out and betrayed for fighting against His terror, broken by the pain but rising again and again
