Songtext von Defending The Faith

"for the times have been and will come again When you shall be persecuted for sticking to my word." Who will have the courage to rise up To speak up for the truth? Who will share the passion To raise their heads defending the faith? Here i stand, i can do no other I cannot draw back my words I cannot hide, please help me father To turn them into deeds Who will be there to carry on The flag of crimson blood cross? Who will remain, when the elders have gone To take over the watch? Here i stand, i can do no other I cannot draw back my words I cannot hide, please help me father To turn them into deeds Here i stand, i can do no other I cannot draw back my words I cannot hide, please help me father To turn them into deeds "before i let anyone take me from the word of god and ask me to deny my belief, I will kneel and let him strike off my head."
