Guardian's Song

Through tides and troubles I have knelt beside her
Through winds and storms I have stayed by her side I hear the drumbeats on our heels and hide her But still the sunrise comes too soon tonight My lady sister, I am here beside you Though rust and toil keep you in morning light I am and always will be steps behind you Until we meet again at fall of night CHORUS I hear the wails Farmers fell Heed my call of night I hear the drums Morning comes How I curse the light Through tiny whispers, I attempt to guide her Though all seems lost, I know I must abide The whims and wishes of others do try her But I must keep her fire burning bright The other people do not know her trials She sets herself aflame to keep them warm But in the end, I know she'll fight their battles Though no one else will see her so war-torn Another day dawns brightly in the distance Another day she dons her clear armor Another night has passed from this existence Another night will return my martyr CHORUS My lady sister, I am here beside you Take off your bloodied gear and shed your tears Oh, would the field line falter if you withdrew? You need not every day go face your fears My lady sister, I am here beside you My lady sister, I am here to stay Horizons will still dawn for others, it's true Just leave the garrison this once, I pray |
