According to Herman Li, “Defenders” was one of the first songs from the album to be finished. He also explained that the idea for the song “was to create a contrast, by fusing some thrash metal style riffs with DragonForce’s big epic choruses and high speed twin guitars solos.

[Verse 1]
Life's uncertain, a rat-race of pain
Endlessly searching for more
Hopeless and aimless, held back by the chains
Until we can't take anymore
Hold on, stay strong
Breaking out from a past life fading
No more, what for?
All we got is to keep on praying
Wait for their downfall, their lives in dismay
Witness the final decay
Suffering in silence, for years we were blind
But now we got something to say
[Hook]
Hold on, stay strong
Till the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for?
Nothing left but to keep on fighting
[Pre-Chorus]
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see
[Chorus]
So free under blue skies but time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cleansed in a kingdom of fire
[Verse 2]
Legions of darkness from beyond the grave
Spill their blood under the sun
Voices are calling with anger and rage
The final war now has begun
Hold on, stay strong
Till the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for?
Nothing left but to keep on fighting
[Pre-Chorus]
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see
[Chorus]
So free under blue skies but time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cleansed in a kingdom of unholy fire
Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight
[Bridge]
The pain will slowly fade away
The shadows of our lives
Will wash away the memories
Before the last sunrise
We'll keep holding on
In times of changes
Standing strong against the wind
Until the end of time
[Guitar Solo]
[Hook]
Hold on, stay strong
Till the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for?
Nothing left but to keep on fighting
[Pre-Chorus]
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see
[Chorus]
So free under blue skies but time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cleansed in a kingdom of unholy fire
Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight
Hear our call, save us all
We're standing tall tonight
