Brooklyn: It's funny what you notice the first time you see someone - confidence, a nice smile, a little connection. What you don't see, what's impossible to know at first glance, is everything else... at least everything that counts.
[opening lines]::Brooklyn: [narration] This is a story about the guy I fell for, but to really understand why, you have to know a little bit about the game he loves. The game's been played by Native Americans for centuries. It requires speed and agility, teamwork, strategy, and a bit of violence. You may know it as lacrosse, but Native Americans know it as baaga'adowe - the little brother of war. Their matches took days and were played over miles of terrain. The winners got land, wives, and sometimes glory. There's a lot that's different about the game now, but the thing a player needs most hasn't changed at all - and if you find someone who has it, I'd tell you to never let go.::[Movie title appears: "A Warrior's Heart"]
Conor Sullivan: So where we goin'?::Sgt. Major Duke Wayne: The Six Nations Work Camp. It's where we send all the reservation kids who can't get their life together - kids like you.
Seamus 'Sully' Sullivan: Can't a guy just slip away from the war without his family thinking something's up?::Keegan Sullivan: No.
Dupree: [in the locker room] Can I help you?::Conor Sullivan: Thanks, but I'm pretty good at dressing myself.::Dupree: No. Varsity only here. Scrubs dress in there.::Conor Sullivan: So, you're what passes as varsity around here?
Seamus 'Sully' Sullivan: Never put yourself above the game.
Sgt. Major Duke Wayne: [in the open as a downpour begins] You need to build a shelter if you plan on getting some sleep.

Phil Blackwood: As he lifted the 400-pound weights above his head, he was in agony... but he bore it in silence.
Nina: This is how we drive in Romania!
Phil Blackwood: [Narrating a passage of his upcoming book out loud - more than a little embellishing the truth] Despite the dozens of ravishing creatures begging to be part of his life, Swift had lived alone since his wife... was incinerated several years before, when the microwave went berserk during a thunderstorm.
Phil Blackwood: [Narrating a passage of his upcoming book out loud - more than a little embellishing the truth] As the Japanese servants cleared away the remnants of Swift's gourmet meal, he and the girl exchanged sparkling repartee. His turn of phrase clearly had her entranced.
Nina: [Greeting Phil, who is sitting at the kitchen table] Did you sleep well?::Phil Blackwood: Sure! Why not? And you?::Nina: Hmm... okay.::Phil Blackwood: [Noticing she has one of his books in her hands] You're reading one of my books... I thought you were strictly Proust and Dostoevsky?::Nina: Well, I could not go to sleep last night and I knew this would help.
Phil Blackwood: [Narrating a passage of his upcoming book out loud - more than a little embellishing the truth] They let their towels drop to the floor. His eyes explored every inch of her glistening wet body. Her eyes explored every inch of his... muscled torso. He took her in his arms. Her breasts squashed against him like ripe pomegranates. They kissed. She nearly passed out from the rapture of the moment... but Swift, familiar with this reaction from past encounters, gathered her in his arms as her body went limp, and carried her into his bedroom.
Phil Blackwood: [after Nina crashes out of the garage in Phil's SUV - without having bothered to open the garage door] I thought you said you "drove" in Romania!::Nina: This IS how we drive in Romania.
Nina: [On the way to the hospital, regarding the arrow she has accidentally shot into Phil's right buttock] What will you tell the doctor?::Phil Blackwood: That I shot myself.::Nina: With a bow and arrow?::Phil Blackwood: I didn't know it was loaded!
Phil Blackwood: [Regarding Nina] I love her... I'm terrified of her.::Sam: Sounds like the normal relationship.
Sam: You think she's really trying to kill you?::Phil Blackwood: No!... Yes... Maybe... Of course not!... I don't know. Why do you ask?::Sam: Because if she kills you, I'm next. That's why!
Plot
When his son Andy is kidnapped and held for ransom, David Stannard liquidates his assets to meet the half-million dollar demand. A casual remark by newspaper reporter Charlie Telfer makes him change his mind. Despite the pleas from his wife Edith and brother Al, and the resultant condemnation of the press and public, Stannard goes on a nation-wide television program, displays the money and warns the kidnapper that not one cent will be paid for ransom; instead the money will be used to track down the kidnapper if Andy isn't returned unharmed. The police then find the boy's blood-stained shirt.

Charlie Telfer: That's right. Trick or treat.

So hear what "They" pray
-This is a serous lay
With wrath "They" would revenge - oh no
It was a little nations, called the Leaved
For years they lived in peace without fear.
Every - everybody was satisfied till the day,
Some men challenge the sea!
One night a man sight a bright glare.
This strange light was comin' vast from the sea.
From this moment the man only wanna' know:
What could be the meaning of this uncanny sign?
-This Bright Glare -
Next day the observer told what he'd seen
And that he wanna' find out what the bright glare means
The next night he snapped some men and sailed out to the
Where this strange light came from!
And really this glare comes again, but the men
Were frightend because there where coming forms out of
the light
(And they said:) "We'd warned you, but you don't listen
What we'd say so we were coming back to steal your souls!
(Vers 1)
So many things
I could bring to the world
I would give my life
to save the human race
of a possible danger
I watch the land and sea
(Bridge 1)
Then I wonder
where are the bad guys
who want to destroy me
There's no work tonight
but I need some practice
Where's the challange in the streets
Where hides the devil's hand
I wonder where did the killers go
I don't need to break free
(Refrain 1)
There's no need tonight
to defend the world
Ohh Lord,
why did you send me here
From far beyond
I came for everyone
Who needs to be saved
someday.
(Vers 2)
You gave me my powers
but I can't use them
What's wrong with this world?
I will search for a million years
(Bridge 1)
Then I wonder
where are the bad guys
who want to destroy me
There's no work tonight
but I need some practice
Where's the challange in the streets
Where hides the devil's hand
I wonder where did the killers go
I don't need to break free
(Solo)
(Refrain 2)
There's no need tonight
to defend the world
Ohh Lord,
why did you send me here
From far beyond
I came for everyone
Who needs to be saved
someday.
(Refrain 3)
There's no need tonight
to defend the world
Ohh Lord,
why did you send me here
From far beyond
I came for everyone
Who needs to be saved
the lack in the time, lost in the airpot, all confusing
bright of the lights, crazy designs
awsering machine checks for the hijacks, sees right thru
no making jokes, security lines
we all wait for
hours and hours
wait for the skies, spot for the landing, night comes
easy
go back to sleep and look for the ride
roomed in a ball, no one can see me, need the platform
talk to the place for someone to hide
we all wait for
hours and hours
they're against again, changing time
from the moment caught in time
sun will rise but i can't see now, sun will rise
now you're standing on lazy clouds
splendid authority
absent sound
the lack in the time, lost in the airpot, all confusing
broken and sick, ready to fly
Screaming through the iron bars
Knowing the time is running out
Here they come to make their day
Lead me through the roaring crowd
I`m waiting for the toll of the bell
The people cast their stones and yell
I look at the hangman dressed in black
I`m scared to die, can I come back?
The rope is scratching my skin
The trap-door`s moving under my feet
I realize the situation I`m in
A last wish is what I need
So, my life comes to an end
I hope there`s more beyond this land
Say a prayer, so I can forgive
So here I go, my final whiff
Live to die, where the soul goes on
When the body is gone, die to live
It`s a place like in a dream
There`s no rank among the dead
We died together in one big stream
You meet the people you`ve never met
Only place left for a few
If you lived your life maybe for you
But I know my place, I know my name
So it can never be the same
Live to die, for evermore out of sight
In a city of light, die to live
Live to die, this eternal night
Fighting so hard to be heard
Yet having nothing to say
You talk about changing masses
But forget those close to you
Most of us have given up
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe
If you have done all that you can
You can justify almost anything
If you are willing to be loud enough
But once you've spent everything
To change the world around you
Even if your voice is taken away
Such actions will still inspire
Most of us have given up
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe
If you have done all that you can
Drained
Spent
Determined
Intent
Now you've earned the right to be heard
We've been deceived by elegant speech
Whose only concern is mere distraction
Defender
Drained
Spent
Determined
Intent
Now you've earned the right to be heard
I will follow to the grave
A man who's willing to die
Most of us have given up
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe
If you have done all that you can
I am willing to die
Defending my planet
Is all that I do
Hostile intruders
Put there by you
A mass invasion
Coming down from the sky
I'll come back fighting
Even after I die
Defender... Defender
Living for dying
My planet destroyed
There's too many of them
It's back to the void
Defending my planet
Is all that I do
Won't somebody play me
One quarter will do
Everything is calm
Yet something feels wrong
Things are falling on the path you walk along
You can feel the attack
Weighing up on your back
Suffocating
Down ever so strong
Can you turn your eye
And take a look at the sky
To find a place where you can
Put these lies behind
It's a win or lose
So look for what you can choose
As you move through
The corners of your
Mind, to find
Somehow you don't remember
And so you cry
Out for your heart's
Defender
You made a fist
Now it's a Judas kiss
Leading you into the
Gates of Babylon
A redemptive wish
A plea of forgiveness
Is all you need
To she'd disgrace and
Dry your eyes
And think of the love so tender
That opened the sky
And rained down the hope forever
If you ever find
That somehow you can't remember
A reason to try
Reach for your heart's...
I’ll never make that same mistake
Thinking I know the way you feel
I guess I’m na've, or maybe I assumed too much
I never did believe you ever would refuse my touch
But everything’s OK, it’s coming to an end
I am Defender, and I will never hurt like this again
You can’t get to me
You can’t see through me
You get to me anymore
Looks like your Juliet's asleep
She OD’ed on hope and valentines
I know that your eyes are going to turn my way
Pretend to empathize until you burn your pain away
But dreamers only dream
Believers are let down
I am Defender
Protector of this heart you pushed around
You can’t get to me
You can’t see through me
You can’t get to me anymore
Close my eyes
Keep my cool
Don’t play nice
You’re not salvation, I’m not your fool
Something has got you so inspired
Someone has put you on the prowl
You tell me you've been hurt, that you’re the one who understands
I will use your shirt to wipe your bloodstains from my hands
Cause dreamers only dream, believers are let down
I am Defender
Protector of this heart you tried to drown
I will remember
Whenever your temptation has me weak
I won’t surrender
To all your charms, your sex and your mystique
You can’t get to me
You can’t see through me
No, you can’t get to me
Not anymore
I'll be your defender.
I'll be your defender.
When the days are dark,
And the nights are only getting longer
When you've lost your heart,
And it seems the opposition is getting stronger
If ever you cry,
And the enemy calls you name.
I'll take a fight,
I'll never leave your side.
So baby don't sleep on me.
I Know you've met a lot of guys with super egos,
But I'm going to save your heart like a super hero.
Yes I'm, Gonna protect you,
Never leave your side, I'll be here to protect you.

But I'm gonna save your front like a military army.

Let me give you everything that you need. (oh wooah)

And every time your world comes crashing down.
If you need a shoulder baby I'm around
I'll be your defender, I be I be I'll be your defender.
Your under attack and it seems your tired of fighting
The memories of your past
Keep you scared of love and hiding
Don't push me away
Because I need cause I never ever tried to harm ya
And I'm gonna fight a battle my way there
Like a knight in shining armor
Yes I've met a lot of girls
Been a lot of places
But your the type of girl I'm never replacing
Yes I'm, gonna protect ya
Never leave your side, I'll be here to protect you.
Dangers around while your under attack babe

As the world let you down again
But you don't have to be afraid no more (no more)
Because I'm right here
I've been waiting my whole life to save you tonight (Nooo Ohwooa)
Baby don't sleep on me,
Let me give you everything that you need. (oh wooah)

(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
By vigil's light this night to keep
Watching eyes fall over her
Moments lost, fragments unseen
But I will still be here
They say this cause is lost
And she will not return to me
They say that she is gone
And this is just a shell unliving
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
I will defend her
By dancing light alone in the darkness
My eyes play tricks with the shadows
Prayers for miracles seem to pass unheard
But I am with her still
They say this cause is lost
And she will not return to me
They say that she is gone
And this is just a shell unliving
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
There is no fact, that cannot be challenged
No course of fate, we cannot repair
The means to an end is in the beginning
Strength to endure, comes out of despair
Where there is love, there is life
And where there is life, there is hope
(There is hope..)
And in hope we find the sight to see
The essence of divinity
They say this cause is lost
And she will not return to me
They say that she is gone
And this is just a shell unliving
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through each moment believing
She knows, that I will not leave her
One life held fast to another
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through each moment believing
She knows, that I will not leave her
One life held fast to another
Love lives, and I will defend her
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
Do with me what you want
I don`t give a damn
When I`m dead and buried
Hurt me if you can
In this cruel world
Fighting is the game
We kill ourselves for differences
Ain`t it a shame
I live for you
I die for you
Hear the word of a son
Killed by the night
All standing in the shade
To take on the might
Come on and we`re rolling on
The palace will burn
We`re gonna brand our land
We`ll give them what they earned
All rising up
And facing the force
There will be no mercy
For them on this course
Shining blades of Metal
They hit in the dark
On their way to the face
Losing control, but I`m never give in
This is your game that I`m gonna win
Do it for kicks, so you play with fire
Say one word and I call you a liar
I`ll come so far to you, don`t know what you`ve gotta do
Your dream is a nightmare, you`ll live your life in
dispair
You just talk
But I hear no sound
You let it fall
The peices to be count
I`m waiting for a mistake
I`m waiting so I can break you
In the north, where the ice must melt
The soul was hard, so it must felt
It crossed your mind and spoke with evil tongue
Anything you do, will never last long
Say it`s the truth, when I know it`s a lie
Down at your back are you ready to die
Now the time has come for me
For believing all the things I see
Wish you had never been born
So I seperate the chaff from the corn
Feel my angel eye, drop down and start to die
In the desert of silence
Walks a man beyond the grave
In his heart many worries
About the world he must save
And now the time has come
You will feel the heat
He`s the man with the mighty power
He`s the man that you`ll need
It was a time when destruction was near
The world lived with pain and fear
In times like these
We got a command
Ban evil
From this wicked land
Evil things that you can do
That`s all you ever knew
But now these things are gone
You still feel very strong
The man overwhelming you
Now you know who is who
If you gonna take him by his hand
You`re gonna build a perfect land
But now the road will end
You`re feeling safe holding his hand
You walk the land, the sea
Do you hear the gossip,
Expressing your way of sight.
Can you hear the voices?
Drive through the dark and light.
You mustn't pay attention to
Things which others Say!
Running down the highway,
Feeling the burning wheels
The tank is full of patrol
Speed turns your feeling high.
Come and let yourself go
Don't hear to other's lays!
There's another town
Where you could sometime arrive,
But people spit on you,
'Cause they know that
You're a Ghostrider!
Listen now you faceless:
Change the frust to patrol.
Drink a Beer and drive on,
Fly over walls and stones
Overtone the world's cries
With the sound of your freedom
There's another town
Where you could sometime arrive,
But people spit on you,
'Cause they know that
Once upon a time long long ago
Eqypt was the land of relentless dominion
Kings and Queens rules this land of mystery
Things and ignorant slaves were their property
Without exeption
Kings utilized adoration and fear
God blessed the souls od these ignorant slaves
"So come now give a sacrifice
And you will mee Horus"
They thought that they could live twice so they obeyed
-Population thought:
Fanatic faith was the reason to live
All believed: What you have must give - away
Thousands of years are now gone away,
But the symbols of Devotion are not decayed.
Kings utilized adoration and fear
God blessed the souls od these ignorant slaves
"So come now give a sacrifice
And you will mee Horus"
New York City, the world of madness,
Hundred of gangs thousands of murderers
Come on fight you warriors!
You haven't to live in pain,
So you will see, that it's ok!!
Day after day, they play their criminal games
Night after night, they fight side by side.
Come on fight you warriors!
You haven't to live in pain,
So you will see, that it's ok!!
Come on fight you warriors!
You haven't to live in pain,
The dirty tricks department is working overtime
Trying to stop the candidate from getting this time
The wheels are now in motion all the traps are set
Under this commotion will he walk into this mess
The state's intoxicated they're at the starting gate
He may never make it to the planned TV debate
He can't fight off the big bucks of the old brigade
He's gotta watch his step in this smear campaign
They called a snap election in the summer heat
This town is reeling backwards like a drunk man on the streets
Feed those lies, bend those minds at any price
Foul or air as long as he's not there election time
Don't believe the papers it's not any body's race
He's not a rank beginner it's not a children's game
He may get the nomination if he breaks through the chain
Or they'll shoot him down on main street in this smear campaign
Just watch the party faithful fuel the dream machine
They've fudged up all the issues eat that scandal sheet
The dirty tricks department is nearly half insane
Trying to stop the candidate with a smear campaign
You raped my country
So you`re gonna die
I`m feeling this pain
And I lift off to fly
I see you, trying to hide
But my bullets won`t miss
Hear my roaring engine
Get ready for the final kiss
Stand up, fight like a man
Stand up, hide if you can
You took me by surprise
In the heat of the night
I`ll keep on coming
´Till you`re out of sight
Your final convulsion
I will give you hell
I`m ready to attack
You`re under my spell
The last battle-zone
Who it`s gonna be
Your bombs and gunfire
They can`t scare me
You took away my people
But you can`t take my pride
I`ll blow you away
When i'm thinking about
All this luck here on this earth, I sometimes feel to
puke
And then I sometimes get gastric ulcers
And awful headaches
There are many stuck up's who wanna' make
Us the life so unnecessary hard.
Prohibitions, regulations - Oh please
make a stop of this shit!
Oh i am sure, there's one thing
That you wanna' do? Suck my - Suck my ass -
This chiefs and particular my one
I know them all, they're all the same oh yes
Only sucess is their heads and only more might.
This chiefs they regulate your hairsytle and this
Antisocial clothes you should not wear.
In their eyes you're a criminal guy
They don't understand what you are feeling inside
Haa! I give a fuck to what you say
If you don't respect me
Should give it up
You're still a little monkey
Oh, all this idiots they don't know what life is
They just live to die in their pension.
It's always the same system:
Makin' families and makin' kids.
They work eight hours everyday
And they say that is the only right way.
They should better respect others,
Bit instead they forbid their own kids the fun!
Haa! I give a fuck to what you say
If you don't respect me
Should give it up
You're still a little monkey
Don't you see?
You have prejudices against
All that is different to your indroductions
You should change yourself fast before I loose patience
and that means to hit you
And so the thing you have to do
When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only son
I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I go
Now your mission life ahead of you
As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end
Chorus:
Defender, ride like the wind
Fight proud my son, you're the defender
God has sent
Father (3) I look up to you and heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well
So it written, it shall be
Everything is calm
Yet something feels wrong
Things are falling on the path you walk along
You can feel the attack
Weighing up on your back
Suffocating
Down ever so strong
Can you turn your eye
and take a look at the sky
To find a place where you can
Put these lies behind
It's a win or lose
So look for what you can choose
As you move through
The corners of your
Mind, to find
Somehow you don't remember
And so you cry
Out for your heart's
Defender
You made a fist
Now it's a Judas kiss
Leading you into the
gates of Babylon
A redemptive wish
A plea of forgiveness
is all you need
To shed disgrace and
Dry your eyes
And think of the love so tender
That opened the sky
and rained down the hope forever
If you ever find
that somehow you can't remember
A reason to try
Reach for your heart's...
Defender
When it all comes down
And there ain't any easy way out
when it all comes 'round
sometimes all you can do is shout
You shout
Defender
It's all in Your hands
Defender
Take Your command
When the sirens sing
And they're pulling you on the rocks
When the viper stings
And it's putting you into shock
Defender
It's all in Your hands
Defender
Take Your command
When it all comes down
Knockin' you to your knees
When the powers pound
All you can cry is please
Cry please
Defender
It's all in Your hands
Defender
Take Your command
Defender
It's all in Your hands
Defender
