I defy the morning rising br Though I saw the setting sun br br I defy that night is coming br Even though my day is done br br I defy all that is spoken br But seek truth where ‘ere its from br br I defy the masses massing br Knowing not their right or wrong br br I defy all of creation br Yet I sense I do belong br br I defy the very tempest br Though I know I am not strong br br I defy all life’s illusions br Yet love what they're built upon br br I defy that death will take me br It's long lonely journey on br br I defy the very moment br When all things return to one br br I defy the state of nothing br Which is why I wrote this song br br And my spirit will be fighting br Still defiant, on and on br br When all around br Is dressed in silence br br After everything br Has gonebr br Egal Bohenbr br
