"The Defiant One" lyrics

"The Defiant One"

We've waited too long for this
The edge to which we've gone
The sacrifices made before us
To come this far
Predicated on the choices we've made
We're about to bring this circle down

Let this be
The defiant hour
Let me be
The defiant one (One, one, one)

Don't fail me, don't fail me
Don't fail defiantly
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
I am not your eyes

We've wasted too much already
The malleable are led astray
The blood of their determination
Seeps into the unknowing mind
You ain't deterred the needless end

Let this be
The final hour
Let me be
The defiant one (One, one)
To bring this down

You can't tell me
You can't tell me what to see
Don't tell me
Don't tell me what to see

Don't fail me, don't fail me
Don't fail defiantly
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
I am not your eyes
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
The defiant one
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
The defiant one
