The Defiant Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I'm suffering, can barely breathe
Just one more step into the fire
When all is lost, it's worth the cost
Whatever comes, I hold my head higher
Everything I want to be (Everything)
Nobody can take from me (Take from me)
I would rather die than to trade what I believe

[Pre-Chorus]
Callin' all the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
It's your time, gotta stand your ground
Face the fire, never goin' down
We walk the wire
We're the defiant
Never bow 'cause we're bold and brave
Got the power, never bend or break
We stand as giants
We're the defiant
If you wanna feel alive, don't be afraid to die
[Post-Chorus]
Callin' all the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
We are the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Another day, another wave
Comes crashin' down and I'm sinkin' under
So let me know I'm not alone
'Cause if you're with me, I can be stronger
Everything I want to be (Everything)
Lay it on the line with me (Bear with me)
Even if we die, we will die on in the gray

[Pre-Chorus]
Callin' all the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
It's your time, gotta stand your ground
Face the fire, never goin' down
We walk the wire
We're the defiant
Never bow 'cause we're bold and brave
Got the power, never bend or break
We stand as giants
We're the defiant
If you wanna feel alive, don't be afraid to die
[Post-Chorus]
Callin' all the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
We are the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Callin' all the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
It's your time, gotta stand your ground
Face the fire, never goin' down
We walk the wire
We're the defiant
Never bow 'cause we're bold and brave
Got the power, never bend or break
We stand as giants
We're the defiant
If you wanna feel alive, don't be afraid to die

[Post-Chorus]
Callin' all the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
We are the defiant (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Genius Annotation

Even tho I don’t know if this song have a interpretation. I’m just going to randomly think of one.

The Defiant is about fighting off the powerful enemy. We shall never bowed to him and God is always on your side. You are defiant’s to fight the powerful enemy. I would have to say this is pretty similar to Surviving The Game.
