Defender

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 Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea Righteous wrath Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy Like a forest fire spreading through the pouring rain (I would do anything) 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 Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea Righteous wrath 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, 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 --- Defender - August Burns Red
