They were guardians of the breath
|
Trusted with those precious chances
|
Keeping Gaia from the fear of death
|
Balances must be defended
|
|
To 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 vapours poison, the acid rain fell
|
The spirit cut from earthly bounds
|
The creature stirred the pain
|
|
How much abuse can she take
|
(Awake from your dreamtime)
|
The lines are drawn our justice awaits
|
(Will the guardians surrender)
|
|
The 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 years
|
|
To 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 defended
|
