Defenders Lyrics

Life's uncertain, a rat-race of pain
Endlessly searching for more
Hopeless and needless, held back the chains
'Till we can't take anymore

Hold on, Stay strong
Breaking out from the past life fading
No more, what for
All we got is to keep on praying

Pray for the done for, the lives in dismay
Witness the final decay
Suffering in silence for years we were blind
But now we git something to say

Hold on, stay strong
'Till the end a fate of dying
No more, what for
Nothing left but to keep on fighting

United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see

So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, Defenders through time
Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire

Legends of darkness will be on the grave
Spill their blood under the sun
Voices are calling with anger and rage
The final war now has begun

Hold on, stay strong
'Till the end a fate of dying
No more, what for
Nothing left but to keep on fighting

United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see

So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire

Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight

The flame will slowly fade away
The shadows of our lives
Will ash away the memories
Before the last sunrise

We'll keep holding on
In the sands of changes
Standing strong against the winds
Until the end of time

Hold on, stay strong
'Till the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for
Nothing left but to keep on fighting

United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see

So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire

Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight
Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight

Defenders Song Chart

This rapid-fire rocker features guest backing vocals by Matt Heafy of Trivium, who also contributed to "The Game" and "No More" on Maximum Overload. In our interview with DragonForce guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman , Li explained: "Matt had been a friend of ours for quite a few years now, and he's got a great voice and so many diverse tones. It just came about that we decided, 'Hey, why don't we just ask Matt if he'll do it?' And he did an amazing job. He did so many different voices, like death metal, black metal, pop, and thrashy metal - different backing vocals for these songs."

This was one of the first tracks DragonForce finished recording for Maximum Overload. Herman Li told Loudwire the story of the song: "The idea for this song was to create a contrast, by fusing some thrash metal style riffs with DragonForce's big epic choruses and high speed twin guitars solos," he said. "Our friend Matt Heafy from Trivium helped us out with some aggressive backing vocals in the pre choruses."

"In terms of lyrics, here we went for our classic fantasy approach similar to our first album," Li added.
