how can you say   that they meant so much   when times got rough   you chose to turn your back   did you believe   that you made the right decision   you made your bed   i hope you learned your lesson      i never would   turn my back on anyone   i won't follow your example   you said you'd always be here   but we know thats a lie   why did you have to say goodbye      you turn your face to hide your eyes   your false emotions are your disguise   you have to face your fears head on   stand and fight for what you love      if your enemies   are willing to die   and you're not willing to fight   the battles already lost   its over before it starts      though my life may be taken   i will defend my own   my family won't be forsaken   i will defend my own   my enemies rise up against me   i will defend my own   i am ready to die   i will defend my own   you'll never take me alive   i'll die defending my own
