The Echoing Green

Defender

Everything is calm
Yet something feels wrong
Things are falling on the path you walk along
You can feel the attack
Weighing up on your back
Suffocating
Down ever so strong

Can you turn your eye
and take a look at the sky
To find a place where you can
Put these lies behind
It's a win or lose
So look for what you can choose
As you move through
The corners of your

Mind, to find
Somehow you don't remember
And so you cry
Out for your heart's
Defender

You made a fist
Now it's a Judas kiss
Leading you into the
gates of Babylon
A redemptive wish
A plea of forgiveness
is all you need
To shed disgrace and

Dry your eyes
And think of the love so tender
That opened the sky
and rained down the hope forever

If you ever find
that somehow you can't remember
A reason to try
Reach for your heart's...
