“Defender of the Faithless” is an epic power metal anthem about a lone warrior who rises to protect the abandoned and forsaken. Driven by duty rather than glory, the song explores themes of sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering resolve in the face of overwhelming odds. With powerful lyrics and soaring instrumentation, it captures both the heroism and introspection of a defender who fights not for recognition, but for the hope of those who have none.
Lyrics:
Verse:
Beneath the hollow skies of gray
The broken kneel, their hopes betrayed
No gods to answer whispered prayers
No saviors rise, no leaders care
A shadow moves, a flame is born
To shield the lost, to face the storm
Pre-Chorus:
Not for glory, not for fame
I rise to shield their pain
The fight is mine alone
Chorus:
I am the blade in the shadow, the shield in the storm
A flame to guide where no light is born
For the lost and the broken, I’ll carry it on
Through the chaos and carnage, the battle is drawn
No gods to save them, no heroes to call
Defender of the faithless, I’ll stand through it all
Verse:
The cries of children fill the air
A world abandoned, none to care
The weight of hope falls on my hands
A lone defender, I make my stand
Through fields of fire, through endless night
I’ll hold the line, I’ll bear the fight
Pre-Chorus:
Through the fire, through the rain
I rise to shield their pain
The fight is mine alone
Chorus:
I am the blade in the shadow, the shield in the storm
A flame to guide where no light is born
For the lost and the broken, I’ll carry it on
Through the chaos and carnage, the battle is drawn
No gods to save them, no heroes to call
Defender of the faithless, I’ll stand through it all
Bridge:
No songs will sing of the battles I’ve won
No legends will name me when all this is done
But for the faithless, I’ll fight beneath the dying sun
Chorus:
I am the blade in the shadow, the shield in the storm
A flame to guide where no light is born
For the lost and the broken, I’ll carry it on
Through the chaos and carnage, the battle is drawn
No gods to save them, no heroes to call
Defender of the faithless, I’ll stand through it all
Final Chorus:
I am the light in the darkness, the shield through the fight
A spark to burn in the endless night
For the lost and the broken, I’ll carry it on
Through the chaos and carnage, the battle is drawn
No gods to save them, no heroes to call
Defender of the faithless, I’ll stand through it all
