Guardian

(album: Awaken The Guardian - 1986)

These walls are stained engraved with pain
You will find them under shadows casting shame
Some it's all they've ever known
Angels of the fortunate sons come and go...
You may not
Entities pass in the night
Guardians and the Reaper fight
The will to live shall win
Mares of hope ride through their dreams
Blinding light awakens sleeping dawn
It seems it was all a dream, an endless dream

I will wish upon a star
I believe in you and if my will has strayed afar
I remembered you
Will you remember me
I the one you sentenced
Penance unabsolved
Answer me, save my will
Have you forgotten me

Pace the hallway blindman
For a million miles of stars
His mind has seen.
Think you may he lives in darkness
We're the dark he's seen the light of dream
Karen, she's been asleep forever
I know she hears me
She has so much to say,
The machine shoots sparks
Through her eggshell mind
A tear streams from her face
Into my hand, into my heart

I'm a fire without a flame
A helpless child without a name
With broken wings catch me I'm falling
I'm a question with no answer
Who are you that takes my life away from me
Unveil the boundaries of the black

I had a dream I was you strong as the fire
In your veins then when I called out your
Name I would remain to witness the pain
I am beyond silent black I will be back
As your guardian

Angels in white you have sacrificed
You witness and bury the pain
You walk hand and hand with the fear stricken child
Strengthen the weak and the lame
Have you seen beyond the unborn
The pillar of penance and lore
Perpetual journey into the realm
The sovereign servitor
