Netherbird - Born Defiant lyrics

My shores are rugged I am of the unfertile soils So harsh and bold my spirit My children born defiant Purify – amend, restore what liars crushed Rectify – Reason shall conquer and prevail Throughout the ages, come war, plague and d**h I never faltered, no never did I bend We're born defiant, through fire, ice and snow No vain denial, shall ever dim these eyes We're born defiant, we are the spirits free No weak denial, shall ever chain these souls, in sleep I can tell a thousand lies for what they are, Endure a thousand years and never yield I can host any kin and kind, and every creed But those that poison people and turns them into sheep Under burning skies, my vengeful children strike Their towers shall sway and fall, into darkness Through the barred gates, swarm their halls A hammer swung at those that stole Purify – Intellect shall triumph Rectify – Thoughts not prayers lead the way Throughout the ages, come war, plague and d**h We never faltered, no never did we bend Under burning skies, my vengeful children strike Their towers shall sway and fall, into darkness Through the barred gates, swarm their halls A hammer swung at those that stole I am a land they could never tame These words are proof that they failed, ignorance begone They call it heathen, I call it free They call it Norse blasphemy, I call it me I am a land they could not understand Where minds are harder to darken, reason's bastion They call it evil, I call it free I call it man over god, I call it me
