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.
