GRANITE HEART is single #3 of the upcoming DEFENDER album DYING TO LIVE. Pure Metal served loud! If you had to choose three attributes for this young German band, they would most likely be young, wild and metal! Musically located somewhere in the melting pot of oldschool Teutonic Metal with old Helloween, Running Wild or Grave Digger, DEFENDER are simply fun to listen. And anyone who thinks that this music must sound old and hackneyed these days has for sure never listened to the band! DYING TO LIVE was released March 21st, 2025 on CD, vinyl and digital 🤘.

GRANITE HEART
(Music & lyrics: DEFENDER)

I know I promised it to you,
That I would never run away again
Now my world broke up in two
And I tell you I can’t stay the pain

I’ve got a granite heart
It was death that took us all apart
I will keep you in my mind
There’s no one else like you that I can find

You’ve told me live is made for living
Now I’m not the one I used to be
But I know we’ll meet again
Nothing could ever stop you and me

I’ve got a granite heart
It was death that took us all apart
I will keep you in my mind
There’s no one else like you that I can find
