Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind (4x)

Have you forgotten him

(lead: André)

Far from the land

Where the sun is born

down in the wood "Caladon"

Do you know the place

where the light is never seen

and all the hopes are turned

by the final cry

Turned to Stone (4x)

Whispering tunes in the wind

all hopes are gone with the night

when the old man will never come back

remember his words and his songs

And we see the raven's flying in the distance

but no wizard's singing his song

Ref.: Somebody's out in the night

I fly in time

The last candle will burn

there's hope for everyone

when the last candle burns high

oh it's time for life

(lead: André)

The elves and gnomes have to hide

when the moon is showing it's face

and raging orcs will set their traps

and the forest will burn

they hate green trees

and love the dark

they don't understand

that they're caught and left alone

they feel the magic in the wind

they're just fear the old man's song

(solo: Kai)

Ref.: Somebody's...

Corrupted old gnome

betrayer of all

you know so much about all

what is your price?

GNOME:

"Too much, too much

you cannot pay with your silver and your gold

there's just a little chance to save the wizard's life

there's just a little chance for all you fools

now pay"

(lead: André)

And so I walk across the land

and hope to hear the wizard's song

Ref.: Somebody's... (2x)

Somebody's out there

I feel there's somebody

Somebody's out there

I feel there's somebody
