Lyrics Dan Bull – The Last Guardian
Text:
We spoke unspoken things
We rode on broken wings
We wrote a symphony with broken bows and broken strings
We harmonised to bring eachother simple hope from hymns
We rode on broken wings
I still remember the day that I met you
To begin with I didn’t quite get you
And I bet you didn’t get me
When you sneezed and I said bless you
Remember the days of getting acquainted?
We were chained together with pain
But yet it’s the same tether that made a friendship
That no oppressor could tame
We severed the chain
Shedding the weight
And made a clever escape
Through terrible weather and flame
Frayed fur and feathers never the same
Together we celebrate
Commiserate
Share treasure and blame
By any given measure you make
We’re the best
The better
The best of mates
We spoke unspoken things
We rode on broken wings
We wrote a symphony with broken bows and broken strings
We harmonised to bring eachother simple hope from hymns
Sharing a token drink
Opening a link once closed
To simply sit like bros and sing
We broke the mould and showed the whole world what we both can bring
But a pin that’s soaked in ink
And poked in skin can only sting
Like broken bones, broken oaths or broken wings
So just
Cary me
And I’ll lead you
Shelter me
And I’ll feed you
Hear me
And I’ll see you through
Together we do
Whatever we need to do
I still remember the day that I met you
To begin with I didn’t quite get you
And I bet you didn’t get me
When I leaned in with an attempt to pet you
But with you I’m not scared to share the real me
Just knowing you care can heal me
I swear fearly
Can you feel me?
I’ll be your sword if you shield me
Might never get a chance to say goodbye
When it’s to late, you’re gone
We two may be separated
But it’s you that made me one
When I’m away, please stay strong
Remember what it takes to break these bonds
Place oceans and seas between us
They’ll seem like lakes and ponds
I care about your whereabouts
I’m bare without you
Share yourself with me
Feel free to dare to doubt
I swear I’m there to help
My prayers go out to thee
You’re tearing down the scary towers
Bearing down
And staring out
And glaring down at me
There’s no bound to what we’re amounting to
To what you and a pal can do
Insurmountable mountains
Become minuscule mounds
When we meld as two
I keep the principles you held us to
And they help us through
Still here when I’m out of view
That chill you felt, I felt it too
That chill you felt, I felt it too
So
Carry me
And I’ll lead you
Shelter me
And I’ll feed you
Hear me
And I’ll see you through
Together we do
Whatever we need to do
(Together we do, whatever we need to do)
