Manowar Defender lyrics

When you are old enough to read this words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never meet, my only son, I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow

But my call was heard and I did go
Now your mission lies ahead of you
As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end

Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Father, father, father
I look up to you and heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn

So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well

So it is written, it shall be, yeah

Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
