The Guard Lyrics

The loss and the pain, faces of soldiers.

Bruises and scars turning yellow and blue.

Shelters and trains sisters and mothers

Stories are many but voices are few

I wish I could say that I'm safe for the moment

I would lie if I said I'm alright.

The wolves are at the door, the beacons are burning

And I stand on guard for the night.

A special campaign, the disinformation

The lies and the justification of war

The hate and disdain, the annihilation

We are pawns in a game played to even the score

I wish I could say that I'm safe for the moment

I would lie if I said I'm alright

A light in the sky, the sirens are calling

And I stand on guard for the night.

Always beside me, though war has torn us apart

Your voice will comfort and guide me

Longing for you fills my heart

And keeps me alive in the dark.

Ashes and dust, wasteland and ruins

Echoes of pain through the mist and the rain

Nothing to gain when neighbours and brothers

Are facing each other like Abel and Cain

I wish I could say that I'm safe for the moment

I would lie if I Said I'm alright.

The wolves are at the door, the beacons are burning

And I stand on guard for the night.
