Lyrics
I. Country Secluded isles Floating on a foamy sea The summer wind Rifling through the memories Enchanted wood Guarding the children that play The forest green That secretive beast of beauty The fertile land Enriching our lives with the harvest Living in tandem with the men Who work on the land My brethren Uniting under one command This is my land This is my country My brethren holding it strong It is my home It is my love Full of life and song Peaceful Down by the river My lifeblood flows II. Lifeblood Born of Water I came into this world My service is protection All who enter my realm To those who lack direction Misadventure at the helm I am a Watcher Rest your weary eyes You are safe in my grasp Let me be your guide Be not afraid of my task I am a Guardian My element is my life Led astray from it I cannot survive It is my soul and kin I am strongest when I swim I am a Watcher I am a Guardian III. Hierarchy The clay the trees The flowing water Bound by a force so strong Momentous beauty Flowing onward Guided by his song United, synchronizing minds With a spirit of a lineage pure Guardian of the Wood We owe you everything Teacher, mentor, Father Daybreak/ sunrise Days come and go Moving/ onward Unending flow Shadows/ lifted From sacred land Divine/ union Spirit and Man We are as one Guardian of the Earth Governing the soil and the quarries deep She knows the mountains As her throne room hold and keep Ruling over lake and current Water is what I know I watch the birth of rivers Aiding it as it grows The forest, guarded by the one Who unites us with his will Guardian of the wood, we serve you Trifold protection And a devotion to this land We stand together Offering everything we can (Solo break: Tim Lingley) IV. Impure Immortality Guided by mortal thoughts Acting on Impulse Much like our counterparts When surrounded by Our chosen element Peace prevails The power to rule The strength to guard balanced power waiting To be unbalanced Darkness be found Within us
