Shadow Guardian

Another cry cuts through the dark
A fragile spark in a world so stark
I hold this life, it shakes my soul
Am I enough to take control?

This world is rotten to the core
No truth, no peace, just endless war
The sky is grey, the air is thin
And now, my real fight begins

Born into ruin, a light in decay
I must protect, I can't run away
Chains of fear, I break for you
I am a father, becoming something new

The streets are fire, the hearts are cold
No mercy left, just lies they're sold
I never thought I'd feel this way
But I would die to make you stay

No hope in headlines, just despair
But I will shield you, I will care
Even if the world forgets my name
You'll survive–, I'll take the flame

Born into ruin, a light in decay
I must protect, I can't run away
Chains of fear, I break for you
I am a father, becoming something true

They poisoned the water
They twisted the truth
But you're my reason now
I'll burn the world for you

Born into ruin, still I will fight
I'll be the shadow guarding your light
Though all collapses, I'll stand tall
You're my purpose
My reason
My all
