lyrics

Preserve
Protect
Defend

This is not a land of kings
You don’t know anything of the path through
Shadowed & clawed, we are watching you
In the morning, after the fall
We’ll know what to do

This is not a land of kings
We don’t owe you anything, have you noticed
The forest parting inside our breath
You do not possess power absolute

This is not a land of kings
The only voice that really sings over the static & noise
Is the many throated choir
The louder it grows, the grander the fire

Preserve
Protect
Defend

Don't despair
Don’t despair

This is not a land of kings
We will stand with open wings to protect from
Fools & despots & lying thieves
We are harbored here & rolling up our sleeves
We are harbored here & rolling up our sleeves
