Guardians Of The Breath Lyrics - Jones Howard

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
