Defender
As I Lay Dying - Awakened
Fighting so hard to be heard
Yet having nothing to say
You talk about changing masses
But forget those close to you
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe
If you have done all that you can
You can justify almost anything
If you are willing to be loud enough
But once you've spent everything
To change the world around you
Even if your voice is taken away
Such actions will still inspire
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe
If you have done all that you can
Now you've earned the right to be heard
We've been deceived by elegant speech
Whose only concern is mere distraction
Now you've earned the right to be heard
I will follow to the grave
A man who's willing to die
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe
If you have done all that you can
