Manowar Defender Lyrics

Defender Lyrics

When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only son
I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I go
Now your mission life ahead of you
As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end
Chorus:
Defender, ride like the wind
Fight proud my son, you're the defender
God has sent
Father (3) I look up to you and heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well
So it written, it shall be
Chorus
