Jones Howard - 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 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 week's 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
