Testo di 'Defender' di August Burns Red

Tonight I saw a father’s love, in waves, start to rise
I will not stand by and watch what I made be demonized
He insists you dug a hole, a hole of bitterness
A rock and a hard place sounds easy compared to this

Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea
Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a forest fire spreading through the pouring rain

I would do anything to make it through, but it takes two
One is me, the other’s you
I would do anything to make it through, but it takes you

Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea
Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a forest fire spreading through the pouring rain

The ones who know what’s best are the best to have around
An understanding man doing the best he can to comprehend
A voice that shakes as he calms the quake
We need a defender who bends so we don’t break

There is no judge
I am the jury and the defendant
The gavel has no hand
Who will deliver the sentence?

Bitterness has no end

I would do anything to make it through, but it takes two
One is me the other is you
I would do anything to make it through, but it takes you

A friend defends the one he loves
In all things love transcends

I need a defender
A voice that shakes to calm the quake
I need a defender who bends and breaks in my place
