SENTINEL

She hit me like a heat wave
On the desert in July
Covered me like an avalanche
When there is no place to hide
She held me at the bottom
Of a wicked waterfall
Spun me like a twister
And I've survived it all
I am
A Sentinel

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I fell in love with
A calm before the storm
She revealed her history
A land ravaged and torn
The damaged ones
Will run from love
Diversion's their defense
She waged a war
Didn't know what for
Or whom it was against
But I will protect her
Arm me for the duel
To defend a heart so lost
I am
A Sentinel
~~*~~

Yes…
Go ahead, come at me
I’m prepared for the fight
My love is downright definite
It won’t slip, fold, or backslide
Oh, she is a disaster
Out to rip us both apart
Well I am a Sentinel
I will defend her heart

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
My word is a vow
No room for change or doubt
If what I love is damaged
I don’t just throw it out
I will protect her
Arm me for the duel
To defend her from herself
I am
A Sentinel
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I fell in love with
A calm before the storm
She revealed her history
A land ravaged and torn
The damaged ones
Will run from love
Diversion's their defense
She waged a war
Didn't know what for
Or whom it was against
But I will protect her
Arm me for the duel
To defend a heart so lost
I am
A Sentinel
~~*~~ 

~~~*Finale*~~~
I will protect her
Arm me for the duel
To defend her from herself
I am
A Sentinel
~~*~~
