Trivium - The Defiant Lyrics

Trivium Lyrics

"The Defiant"

Explicit deviance
Don't have to hide
Display their wealth of sin
Right 'fore our eyes

Complicit in ruin
Protect with lies
Defenestrate, destroy
Mock and victimize

Nothing to gain
Playing their games
Always the same
Corruption betrays

I stand in defiance of your ways
(The defiant, the defiant)
Nothing can absolve you from this hate
(The defiant, the defiant in your way)

Explicit deviance
Don't have to hide
Display their wealth of sin
Right 'fore our eyes

Complicit in ruin
Protect with lies
Defenestrate, destroy
Mock and victimize

Nothing to gain
Playing their games
Always the same
Corruption betrays

I stand in defiance of your ways
(The defiant, the defiant)
Nothing can absolve you from this hate
(The defiant, the defiant in your way)

Nothing can absolve you from this hate
(This hate, this hate)

I stand in defiance of your ways
Nothing can absolve you from this hate

The defiant in your way
(The defiant)
The defiant in your way
(The defiant, the defiant in your way)

I stand in defiance of your ways
(The defiant, the defiant)
Nothing can absolve you from this hate
(The defiant, the defiant in your way)

"The Defiant" was inspired by the documentary series "Surviving R. Kelly". Paolo Gregoletto told Kerrang.com in a track-by-track guide, "I was watching the R. Kelly documentary and I could not believe the amount of people that helped allow this man do this for so long. It's just wild to me that there are so many who enable these kind of people. [...] That is what the song is about: it's about standing up for something and being the defiant people in between the innocent who are affected, and not caring that it's going to affect your career."
