The Banner of Defiance Lyrics

Steady thy hand
And wand
For in the hour of dawn
There's no time for tongue
Or wrath

The old soul is damaged
Bereft of human trust
Seeks shelter in night.
By light of day he wanders

The time for reckoning
To make peace
To spite the righteous
To destroy the oppressors

The old soul is damaged
Crushed, bereft of compassion
Seeks shelter in night
By light of day he wanders

So come heathen
Come pagan
Come heretic
Castaway
Apostate
Come derelict
Come refugee
Cynic
Nihilist
Come forth
Unite
Under the banner of defiance
Say true and fast
For truth exists
In the face of ignorance
