Sentry the Defiant (Live At Palladium, Dallas, TX 03/03/13) - Coheed and Cambria

Believer, your spotlight's on the subject so incorrect

And suggestion, suggests that I'm someone you should not respect

Oh you wear your facade so well, covered up in a plastic shell

You're a liar to everyone around you just don't forget

Face the honest truth:

You were never you

And I'll be defiant, the lion.

Give them a fight that will open their eyes

Hangman hooded, softly swinging

Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive!

And it's homecoming

And it's homecoming

Can you remember, when there was no wrong in what I could do?

So young, biting off way more than I could chew

And then one day I grew too old

And my cares were now theirs to mold

Please accept this as my resignation it's time to go

Face the honest truth:

You were never you

I'll be defiant, the lion.

Give them a fight that will open their eyes

Hangman hooded, softly swinging

Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I will now bleed for what I believe in

No more mistakes for them to make for me

So goodbye, it's my time for me... to be me

Face the honest truth:

You were never you

I'll be defiant. The lion

Give them a fight that will open their eyes

Hangman hooded, softly swinging

Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!
