Coheed And Cambria - Sentry The Defiant Lyrics






Believer
Your spotlight's on the subject so incorrect
And suggestion
Suggests that I'm someone you should not respect

Oh you wear your façade 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

Now 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

Now 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 to be

To be me

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now 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

("Connection to principle craft has been lost
Attempt to reconnect in 3, 2, 1... connection failed
Recalculating navigation via secondary mobile apparatus

"How long have we been away?"

"Approximate calculation: 547 days
Sirius, do you still want to go home?")

  12. C.... T....

    Claudio. I love your music, however this one. Sentry The Defiant in both ways played is amazing. I've been playing guitar for 14 years and your music has inspired me to get back into writing and singing. Thank you. Keep rocking man. Cant wait to see more music you make.

  13. T.... H....

  16. k.... g....

    I still want to see you live if that's any consolation assholes! LOL

  17. k.... g....

    You want an honest comment? I wish I was playing LOL I bought three tickets for friends when you guys were still on your second or third album!? You guys sold out not just to b******* but us to you f***** us as your fans in Albuquerque! You were touring with Linkin Park! Sucker got sore throat or whatever you canceled to you could have played several albums several songs just to fill that Gap! God Rest his soul! F*** Linkin Park f*** you Coheed and Cambria love you to death but I will never buy an album or ticket of yours again.

    k.... g....

    I never got my money back from Ticketmaster by the way! You stole money from me technically Ticketmaster did so f*** them and f*** you for canceling assholes!... I love you lol

  18. a.... ....

    Last night this song was in my dream and the lyrics were actually right. Like usually the lyrics are all jumbled and nonsensical in a dream like that and I think the melody was different but the lyrics were there. This song must be really important to me subconsciously too

  19. A.... M....

    153 people can go fuck themselves
    This was and is still awesome!

  20. S.... R....

    After all this time
    I always come back to this video to "jam out!"

  21. L.... ....

    Been listening to them since I was 11, when my brother showed me "once upon your dead body" in the car one day and I brushed it off as a pretty catchy song, but then I found myself going crazy, trying to search for them and then I found the rest of their albums (2011 at the time) and I actually can't express my love for Coheed since those days. Claudio's voice, with Travis' guitar playing, josh's drumming style, and Zach/Michael's bass riffs. They're all so particular, different in their own ways, yet they blend together SO perfectly. And plus they're SO tight live.

    Huge fan, and I really hope to see them in concert someday

  22. a.... b....

    The chills man... this is THE best version of Sentry The Defiant <3

  23. A.... ....

    <3 years later and it's still time to be me..

  24. M.... ....

    Wow. Just......wow. I knew Claudio has this but to see him do it from this angle and just........wow. I'll leave it at wow.

  25. R.... S....

    I like Claudio's vocals on this take so much better than the mix on the album and live, there just seems to be so much emotion and nuance to the sound that gets lost in the mix

  26. B.... ....

    🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  27. J.... Z....

    You wanted the best? You got the best!!!’ The best band in the whole fucken world! Co & Ca, suscribe to my YouTube channel

  28. G.... F....

    My brain can't process how to sing and play those riffs at the same time !

  29. a.... c....

    148 tool bags

  30. A.... W....

    One day we’ll look back at C&C’s catalogue and just say “Wow”.

  31. C.... W....

    i cant stop coming back to this song. it just hits me right in the soul.

  32. M.... B....

    This VIDEO is the POWER

  33. W.... -....

    probably an unpopular opinion, but I think i actually prefer the acoustic side of coheed

  34. R.... S....

    on a scale of 1-10 Claudio only knows 11.

  35. R.... T....

    Oh, look....... 148 assholes with no taste were here.

  36. S.... ....

    Sounds great.

  37. R.... ....

    A song for anyone that is tired of being under the thumb of someone who is full of shit. This song does so much for me.

  38. S.... ....

    welcome to the fence, where even the acoustic ones are bangers.

    S.... ....

    Scott where ESPECIALLY the acoustic ones are bangers :P

  39. T.... G....

    Sometimes someone else's words can't ever fully reach until too long after you've learned the lessons they were trying to teach. I'm not who I'm supposed to be. You showed me who I am with your finger pointed at me. I can finally hear it.... damn.

  40. A.... W....

    Somehow, just finding this.  So sick.

  41. C.... A....

    Cant wait till you guys come to Vegas!

  42. C.... M....

    Reminds me of my old hometown that whole place seems to be a high school that they can't graduate from.

  43. Z.... B....

    This still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. The acoustics in that kitchen combined with Claudio's voice is haunting.

  44. S.... O....

    Saved my life............. So thankful. My thoughts are not yours.. I'm alive!!

  45. L.... R....

    I've seen this video 167 times and it gets funnier each time i see it.

  46. 1.... ....

    2018 anyone?

  47. T.... L....

    *Loud echo across the galaxy* "GODLIKE!!!"

  48. D.... W....

    still absolutely one of your best pieces

  49. K.... A....

    We need more acoustic coheed on Spotify!

  50. T.... Y....

    I don't cuss but FUCK YES

  51. C.... B....

    This fabulous bitch is just... in his kitchen. Just blowin' my mind. Rockin' the fuck out in his kitchen.

  52. A.... H....

    It's been 6 years..holy shit. I still remember sitting in my college's library and listening to this for the very first time...

  53. M.... ....

    Never put 2 and 2 together until now, but this video was uploaded on my birthday and the year I first saw Coheed live, hahaha.

  54. C.... J....

    anyone know what tuning he's in?

  55. A.... W....

    I learned to play this song on guitar, drop B and A tunning made it incredibility difficult but fuuk ya
    I love it
    . I love u Claudio

  56. B.... W....

    So incredible.

  57. L.... C....

    I really enjoyed this song, I would definitely recommend this artist.

  58. F.... A....

    I can't Wait for My Coheed/ Space Galaxy Tattoo

  59. M.... N....

    Man, you really make my spirit grow !!! Thank you for creating these beautiful melodies ... health and peace for all your family !!!

  60. R.... X....

    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

  61. J.... h....

    And we are not worthy senior claudio, love this song so much.

  62. T.... M....

    Amazing piece of work

  63. A.... H....

    So 98 people disliked this video....they must all be deaf....

  64. K.... O....

    This song stopped me from killing myself thank you.

    K.... O....

    Fight the good fight man. Be here and help others!

  65. T.... M....

    So how does Sirus and AllMother play into the Key Entity story line? How does Sirius get so badly injured?

  66. I.... ....

    I remember when I first watched this and got really hyped for the Descension Album. Good Times.

  67. M.... O....

    When you decide to buy a baritone almost exclusively to play this song and the key entity songs...

  68. J.... L....

    Claudio is seriously the fucking man. If I could only listen to one guy make music the rest of my life it'd be him hands down. So badass

  69. C.... W....

    my boyfriend introduced me to this band a couple of weeks ago, and honestly, i'm in love. this song makes me weep.

  70. M.... G....

    Claudio! I love you and your music so much!

  71. V.... t....

  77. B.... ....

    This song is quite possibly the most awesome thing in the universe.

  78. 0.... ....

    Awesome

  79. b.... m....

    Is he using steel strings? That tone is amazing.

  80. L.... ....

  81. A.... R....

    I didn't imagine this sound would sound so good acoustic... :o
    So happy to be proved wrong :)

  82. S.... ....

    He sounds like Shakira

  83. A.... W....

    Let's not forgot that this is the first time Claudio played this song......

  84. C.... J....

    Thank you for this song, and for this video. Makes me feel good.

  85. A.... M....

    I love your voice

  86. M.... A....

    Duuuude, I can't get enough of this song! I just want to put it on repeat and listen to it over and over while I am slaying bodies in Fallout 4 or Skyrim!

  87. m.... c....

    I refuse to believe this was 5 years ago. This came out last week.

    m.... c....

    I remember when this came out!

    m.... c....

    Shawn Rakar - I too, remember the last week

    m.... c....

  89. P.... B....

    "And, if God had a favorite album, and his favorite song on that album WAS THIS SONG...That's what helped him create the universe."

  90. M.... N....

    DanielSon this is Awesome sad though

    M.... N....

    Mamma cares and always have and always will

    M.... N....

    YESSSSS SIR

  91. C.... G....

    I'm thinking this song might have a little something to do with micheal....what do yall think?

    C.... G....

    Claudio admitted in an interview that Domino the Destitute is Mic

  92. M.... P....

    they've done "in keeping secrets of silent earth", in its entirety live. I'm waiting for the afterman ascension and descension in it's entirety live lol

    M.... P....

    Marcus Paul what about the black rainbow

    M.... P....

    Boyd Zimmerman ready for all of them tho

    M.... P....

    Marcus Paul GA1 Neverender when tho

    M.... P....

    Got my tickets to GAIBSIV

    M.... P....

    I've seen in keeping secrets live. It was incredible

  93. b.... ....

    His kitchen's got some great acoustics

    b.... ....

    I wonder if the acoustics were a selling point on the house.

    b.... ....

    I think that he probably has Tile in his kitchen, and the sound bouncing off the tile will give the acoustic the twangy and sharp sound that this song really needs, where if you go to Atlas, the living room with the wide open space gives that echo and reverb that THAT song needs, honestly just really good choices of stages that really give the songs more depth then a studio can make.

    b.... ....

    bruh, both songs were in the same area...

    b.... ....

    Well if you look, in this video he is facing his Kitchen, and his Microphone is probably in his Kitchen also. In Atlas he is facing perpendicular to the Kitchen, in that big open area. That little of a change can make the sound pickup on a Microphone vary quite a bit. That's what I was getting at.

    b.... ....

    @Robert Nitram true.

  94. D.... S....

    pure talent

  95. N.... H....

    Sounds good.

  96. a.... t....

    wow an absolute musician every album offers something different, hate all u want they kill it every time

  97. T.... ....

    HOW ARE THERE ANY DISLIKES? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

  98. F.... ....

    I just remembered that youtube has a slowmo feature. Now I have a fair shot at learning this!

    F.... ....

    There are tabs for it on ultimate guitar

    F.... ....

    It's a baritone guitar =/

    F.... ....

    If you tune your guitar to drop B it should be the same as a baritone guitar. I think anyway

    F.... ....

    Actually I think it's B standard

    F.... ....

    Michael Kolman I feel dirty bumping old posts but eh. yeah it is in b standard but it is a little easier to play in drop by, unless you want to follow this video. In that case b standard is what you want.
