Silent guardian
Alone in the sand
Watching those on the sea
Guarding the land
Silent guardian
Alone against the lighthouse
Watching her walk across the sands
Guarding her heart
Silent guardian
Alone in her head
Watching shadows move over the waves
Guarding the world
Naked eyes
Blank windows staring out at the world
Watching the world turn around it
How do you protect those who risk the waves?
Naked eyes
Blank face looking to the sand
Watching her turn around fate
How do you save those who are lost in their head?
Naked eyes
Blank face turned into the wind
Watching ghosts turn around her
How do you mourn the loss of so many?
Silent storm clouds
Dark against the burning sky
Churning seas against the sand
Calling to the land
Silent storm clouds
Dark against his pale eyes
Churning seas in his gut
Calling her back to him
Silent storm clouds
Dark against pale skin
Churning sea in her mind
Calling her back to the past
Steady arms
Reaching out to the sea
Calming those tossed in it's embrace
How do you bring the lost home?
Steady arms
Reaching out to her frail body
Calming emotions tossing her in the sea
How do you mourn the loss of someone who's still alive?
Steady arms
Reaching for his strong frame
Calming fears tossing in his mind
How do you find yourself when everything you know is gone?
Distant horizon
Dreams to be kept
Promising adventure and hope
Guarding the land
Distant horizon
Dreams to be held
Promising her forever
Guarding her heart
Distant horizon
Dreams to be freed
Promising him forever
Guarding the world
