Manowar Lyrics

Album: Fighting the World

Defender Lyrics

When you are old enough to read this words

Their meaning will unfold

These words all that's left

And though we've never meet, my only son

I hope you know

That I would have been there to watch you grow

But my call was heard and I did go

Now your mission lies 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 so the end

Defender

Ride like the wind

Fight proud, my son

You're the defender

God has sent

Father,father,father

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's written,it shall be

Defender

Ride like the wind

Fight proud, my son

You're the defender

God has sent
