The Defiant Songtext
von Marianas Rest

Crawl through knives to reach the brink
It hurt like hell, but here I am
Put down these torches from now on
Everything turns black

Drag myself all the way down
To the bottom of this charade
When you dive long enough
You shall witness the end of me

Seasons change, but after this
I will never
Symbol of all long-lost hope
Buried inside a dying dream
Trapped within my shell
Genealogy of bad decisions
Destroying all I touch
Bring the whole world down with me

You cowards never had the guts
To turn your back, to reject it all
To cripple yourself and be happy to crawl


Now lay your eyes on me
Revel as I take this step
I shall prove my worthless point
With this triumph in misanthropy

Seasons change, but after this
I will never
Symbol of all long-lost hope
Buried inside a dying dream
Trapped within my shell
Genealogy of bad decisions
Destroying all I touch
Bring the whole world down with me

Whoa
Bring the whole world down
And witness the end of me
Bring the whole world down
Let it crumble all over


Seasons change, but after this
I will never
Symbol of all long-lost hope
Buried inside a dying dream
Trapped within my shell
Genealogy of bad decisions
Destroying all I touch
Bring the whole world down with me

Bring the whole world down with me

"The rivers, lakes and ocean
All stood still
And nothing stirred within their silent depths"
