Pendragon - Guardian Of My Soul lyrics

rate me

Did you ever fly too high on the wings of hope?

Did you ever realise that time was always on your side?

Did you ever dive too deep into the sea of love?

Did you ever break the bread?

And was the madness only in your head?

And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold

And the thoughts that flew so high

Feeling fearless feeling bold

Did you ever fly too high on the wings of hope?

Did you ever realise that the answers stood before your eyes?

And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold

(in times when I flew too close to the heart of the sun)

And the thoughts that flew so high

Feeling fearless feeling bold

(at time when I flew too close to the heart)

We had nights of magic in our eyes

Days of thunder rolling by

Feeling like we'd never die

And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold

(in times when I flew too close to the heart of the sun)

And the thoughts that flew so high

Feeling fearless feeling bold

(at time when I flew too close to the heart)

And the demons wake while the mannequin sleeps

All the ticking and the tocking of the clock that weeps

And the demons wake while the mannequin sleeps

And I pray the Lord my soul to keep

The wave of lust as always is the thorn that's in your side

The whore of Babylon waiting in a doorway

To mug you and your pride

Judge jury and executioner all laughing in the face of trust

Standing in the dock while the angry faces mock

And strip you of all lust

All your dreams and illusions now shattered

Trampled under foot crawling on the floor in tatters

Sentenced passed and destined

To wear the sackcloth for the evils of the world

Standing over me the good and bad that go unseen

Influence and lull me into false security

A cocktail of spiritual alchemy I take the bait so carelessly

The all seeing lead the blind the deaf and dumb

Careless and boundary free

Picking at the scars of society

Off with his head cried those ill at ease

The sober and the sane

Forgotten by time itself

Washed up too drunk and on the shelf

But a thorn in the side of the civilised world

The elders and the right

So locked alone in a white padded cell

No one can hear you so go ahead and yell

Out of sight and out of mind

You're just one of the army that fell

Who is it?

Who goes there?

But how unwelcomes is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise

Speaking out in riddles and lashing out with tongues you tell me

The truth lies before my eyes

But who is this enemy unseen?

The face that hides behind the masquerade?

Like the circus marching back into town you tell me

You can't see it in the rain

You can't taste it in the air you breath you tell me

You'll never fly that far again

These dreamers have their ways

On wide wings they fly away

You can't see it in the wind

You can't feel it in the rain

In every beat of your heart

Every word that's spoken in vain
