Manowar - Defender Lyrics

(6:01)
When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only son
I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I go
Now your mission life 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

Chorus:
Defender, ride like the wind
Fight proud my son, you're the defender
God has sent

Father (3) 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
