The Defiant Lyrics
Explicit deviance
Don't have to hide
Display their wealth of sin
Right 'fore our eyes
Complicit in ruin
Protect with lies
Defenestrate, destroy
Mock and victimize
Nothing to gain
Playing their games
Always the same
Corruption betrays
I stand in defiance of your ways
(The defiant, the defiant)
Nothing can absolve you from this hate
(The defiant, the defiant in your way)

Corruption betrays
I stand in defiance of your ways
(The defiant, the defiant)
Nothing can absolve you from this hate

"The Defiant" was inspired by the documentary series "Surviving R. Kelly" the bands bassist Paolo Gregoletto explains "I was watching the R. Kelly documentary & I could not believe the amount of people that helped allow this man do this for so long. It's just wild to me that there are so many who enable these kind of people. [...] That is what the song is about: it's about standing up for something and being the defiant people in between the innocent who are affected, and not caring that it's going to affect your career.
