Lyrics
Defiler
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rise and fall
Beyond the law, beyond the danger
To rise above, command in blood
Rise and fall
Beyond the cause, beyond endangered
A call above
Damned by war, damned by failure
The unstoppable threat bound to evolve
The unstoppable threat lost all control
Like a child in arms we dwell
You can turn the tide of dreams we've held
Like a child in arms we dwell
Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?
Rise and fall
Beyond the law, beyond the danger
A call above, command in blood
Rise at dawn
Beyond the law, beyond all hatred
A call above
Damned by war, damned by nature
Like a child in arms we dwell
You can turn the tide of dreams we've held
Like a child in arms we dwell
Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?
Foolish tyrant compelled
Foolish tyrant repels
Like a child in arms we dwell
You can turn the tide of dreams we've held
Like a child in arms we dwell
Who controls the mind that drifts?
Who controls the mind that drifts to hell?
