Guardians of the Breath Lyrics

They were guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances
Keeping Gaia from the fear of death
Balances must be defendedTo take only what they must
(Borrowed from the future)
Live in lovers of a global home
(Our children will remember)Guardians slept while comfort came
The vapors poison, the acid rain fell
The spirit cut from earthly bounds
The creature stirred the painHow much abuse can she take?
(Awake from your dream time)
The lines are drawn, our justice awaits
(Will the guardians surrender?)A forest bare, a desert born
The life pushed out, they sold her cheaply
All for a shilling for next weeks treat
A marvel that had taken ten thousand yearsTo take only what they must
(Borrowed from the future)
Live in lovers of a global home

(Our children will remember)They are guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances
They are guardians of the breath
Balances must be defendedThey are guardians of the breath
Trusted with those precious chances
They are guardians of the breath
Balances must be defended
