Lyrics:
Guardian angel
Out in a land of ash and snow
Here are the faithful (The overthrown)
The overthrown
The overflow
Guardian angel
Give me your hand, that I may know
What have I been saved for?
Help me know just where to go
Now that my guiding light is low
Do I fight, or do I crystallize?
Do I crystallize?
Don’t start praying for the other side
You know there’s no use trying to rush that violence
We freeze like rabbits in the hills and sky
And a whole world open with eyes like diamonds
Fixed on the promise of horizon lines
While the owl is our seeker who flies in silence
Guardian angel (Guardian angel)
Whisper the names gone long ago
My vanishing saviours (Who rose alone)
Who rose alone, and cast no stone
Now that I’m lighting my shadow
Do I fight, or do I crystallize?
Do I crystallize?
Don’t start praying for the other side
You know there’s no use trying to rush that violence
We freeze like rabbits in the hills and sky
And a whole world open with eyes like diamonds
Fixed on the promise of horizon lines
While the owl is our seeker who flies in silence
Blessed are the meek who shout ourselves alive
With only one second, but it’s always timeless
