Racing the heavens, sons of time, you rule without law
I'm my own master
Ocean born, barbarian lord
I break your power, stay your hand
The spear-point of might
Never show mercy, never give to false paradise

Alternate power, see you burn
Take your path through the fading light

Defiance, defiance
A god or a man
I challenge your power
Your order, your stand
I fight for my people, my home and my land
Fighting is our legacy on earth!

Shout to the wind, not to me
I answer to none
Go ask the sea not to break
My power's in one
Know the lion, know the foal
Know strength in your soul
Praised be the bastards who die for a love
For beauty not gold

Holy tomorrow, see you shine
Place my sword in your ancient might

Defiance, defiance
A god or a man
I challenge your power
Your order, your stand
I fight for my people, my home and my land
Fighting is our legacy on earth!
On earth!

Oh, oh...
Never forget...
Now turn to face me great despot enshrined
The wealth of our years of injustice has purchased this night
I take your power
I slay your clan
Clouds and furies now fly, in the face of despite
I take your power
I look in your eyes
Watch see, see how a god dies!

Shout to the wind
"I am there, the power of one"
Ask the sea not to break, I answer to none
Never show mercy, I'll never give in to fear, force and might
Faith is the sound of the chaos inscribed on the blood of my life
Look at me father you'll see me shine with vengeance divine!

Defiance, defiance
A god or a man
I challenge your power
Your order, your stand
I fight for my people, my home and my land
Fighting is our legacy

Defiance, defiance
A god or a man
I challenge your power
Your order, your stand
I fight for my people, my home and my land
Fighting is our legacy on earth!
On earth!
