DEFENDER LYRICS
"Tales of the Unexpected" (1985 Demo)
1. Defender
2. The Redeemer
3. Shooting the Rapids
4. Passing By
1. Defender
Take one step and you will die
Take one look and you will cry
Just the light shining upon your face
Beware, this is a devil's place
Hear the words down from your soul
You will be killed by the gallows pole
The saddest song you've everheard
Just one more step and one more word
Defender, on his nightly trip
Defender, you can't stand his grip
Bend your neck down on your knees
Hear the wind blow through the trees
The sword is gliding through the air
One smash and and you are there
On your way to the gates of hell
The beast will lead you to your cell
His job is done he won't return
But you will suffer, you will burn
2. The Redeemer
Every day the sadness in your eyes
is going to tear us apart
We tried with all our power and might
to get rid of the cracks in our heart
Break the spell is the only solution
We mortals drift and die
On God of our mighty earth
bow down and hear us cry
On his horse he rides to the place
where the curse on their minds was born
No warrior by his side
He alone can break this thorn
Fight, unite your own
Force, you can wait for the
Sign, and freedom will rise
No-one as strong as his lord
can prevent him from his fate
Brave men in words and deeds
they must fulfill the vow they made
On chains of hills with magic mist
the brave and the wicked they meet
With his soul overflown with belief
He will bring evil defeat
3. Shooting the Rapids
4. Passing By
You see the end
You know where you're going
But you're on your own
It's a strange place
to find one and another
when it's over and done
But after while you'll be back home again
fit into your old life and all its things
You see your new life
and all it's pleasant dreams
Why can't I join you in your race
See, see the world goes round
and keeps on turning
Listen we take the other way
is there a place for me to stay?
Night after night
I'll keep thinking how it used to be
I still love you, but in the end I'll see
that you want to be alone
