Stand Beside The Guardian

Intro – Spoken / Choir

Through mountains high,

Through forests old,

A lone warrior walks.

Not for glory.

Not for gold.

But for peace.

DRED!

Verse 1

Through the mist of ancient mountains,

Through the cold and pouring rain,

He has walked a thousand pathways,

He has carried others' pain.

Through the forests, dark and endless,

Under stars that guide his way,

With a fire burning in him,

For the dawn of a better day.

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear him calling?

Can you hear the sound?

Raise your hands together!

Let division cease!

Stand beside the Guardian...

THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Chorus

DRED! — THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Walking the earth till the hatred will cease!

DRED! — THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Calling the warriors from west to east!

Over the mountains!

Across every sea!

One world!

One heart!

One destiny!

DRED!

THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Verse 2

Through forgotten lands he wanders,

Searching for the righteous ones,

Not for conquest, not for glory,

But for peace beneath the sun.

From the desert to the ocean,

From the forest to the snow,

One by one they hear his calling,

One by one their numbers grow.

Progressive Metal Breakdown

No hatred!

NO CHAINS!

We will not build our future

On another thousand graves!

No border owns the heavens!

No fear shall rule our lives!

Side by side together...

WE RISE!

Guitar Solo / Symphonic Choir

Walk through the fire!

Walk through the storm!

Carry the light!

Let a new world be born!

DRED! DRED! DRED!

GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Bridge

A warrior may carry iron,

A warrior may carry steel...

But the greatest strength within us

Is the courage to bring peace.

Take my hand, my brother.

Take my hand, my friend.

Different lands,

Different lives...

Together till the end!

Final Chorus

DRED! — THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Walking the earth till the hatred will cease!

DRED! — THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Calling all warriors from west to east!

Over the mountains!

Across every sea!

Stand together!

ONE HUMANITY!

One world!

One heart!

One destiny!

DRED!

THE GUARDIAN OF PEACE!

Outro
