August Burns Red - Defender lyrics

Tonight I saw a father's love, in waves
Start to rise i will not stand by and watch
What I made be demonized
He insists you dug a hole
A hole of bitterness a rock and a hard place
Sounds easy compared to this

Righteous wrath
Righteous wrath, wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea
Righteous wrath
Righteous wrath, wrapped in empathy
Like a forest fire
Spreading through the pouring rain

(I would do anything)
I would do anything to make it through
(To make it through) but it takes two
One is me, the other's you
I would do anything to make it through
(To make it through) but it takes you

Righteous wrath
Righteous wrath, wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea
Righteous wrath
Righteous wrath, wrapped in empathy
Like a forest fire
Spreading through the pouring rain

The ones who know what's best are
The best to have around
An understanding man doing the best
He can to comprehend a voice that shakes
That shakes as he calms the quake
We need a defender who bends
So we don't break

There is no judge
I am the jury and the defendant
The gavel has no hand
Who will deliver the sentence?
Bitterness has no end

I would do anything to make it through
(To make it through) but it takes two
One is me, the other's you
I would do anything to make it through
(To make it through) but it takes you

A friend defends the one he loves
In all things love, love transcends

I need a defender
A voice that shakes to calm the quake
I need a defender who bends
And breaks in my place
