The Guard

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.
