The Guardian

Nick Fallin is a hotshot lawyer working at his father's ultrasuccessful Pittsburgh law firm. Unfortunately, the high life has gotten the best of Nick. Arrested for drug use, he's sentenced to do 1,500 hours of community service, somehow to be squeezed into his 24/7 cutthroat world of mergers, acquisitions and board meetings. Reluctantly, he's now The Guardian - a part-time child advocate at Legal Aid Services, where one case after another is an eye-opening instance of kids caught up in difficult circumstances.

(Music: Rolf Kasparek
Lyrics: Rolf Kasparek)
Before the darkness, before the light
The guardians' soul stood the sands of time
He ruled the void, he ruled the dark
All came to birth, the holy spark
Watch out, be strong, choose! when the war is on
Watch out, time's long, until all evil is gone
Rise or fall, standing proud or losing all
Die or live, destruction takes and freedom gives
He watches dark, he watches light
Two souls to proof, wrong or right
A constant fight, a war foretold
A settled plan, what future holdsPre
Chorus
Leadbreak Rolf
The final plan, the final fight
Casting out, dark or light
The lie will fall, truth will stand
The serpent dies by its own hand
Pre
Chorus
Twinsolo Rolf

I push through the crowd
Without looking back
To leave you behind
Took all i had
And maybe i'm wrong
i might be sorry
But what kind of fool
Would hope for a change
Then write a new word
On a page that stained
and ruined by lie
You shouldn't have told me
I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
On a heart that's been abused
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
I swallow the urge
To call out your name
The need crashes in
I brace for the wave
And pray it will pass
Not take me under
'cause, I'm the guardian
I am the last defence for
My weakened heart
That still wants you
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again

You, guardian of Bifrost.
You, who's born by nine sitsers.
You, who hear the grass grow.
You, who see hundreds of miles.
Guard your bridge
night and day.
Heimdall. Heimdall.
Blow your horn,
so all the worlds can hear.

You, guardian of Bifrost.
You, who's born by nine sitsers.
You, who hear the grass grow.
You, who see hundreds of miles.
Guard your bridge
night and day.
Heimdall. Heimdall.
Blow your horn,
so all the worlds can hear.

Hands on the Sun
Under the Sun
Seeing the remains
From the past
The time has past
So very fast
Memory cries
Another time
Another time, another life
Another body, is it me
What I see, is not a dream
It's really me, another realm
Between, the hands
Of the, Guardian
It's the way to remember
It's the way to understand
It's the way to heal

See him stalking day or night
The islands of the bay
Like some veteran tiger
Come to hunt his chosen pray
He'll never lack a target here
For scum will always rise
And to the man who guards your walls
That comes as no surprise
Chorus
And who will be the guardian
To take your dangers on
Who will guard your sleep at night
When old black (cal?) is gone
For one in ten's a predator
Who treats the rest as prey
So someone's always needed here
To drive those wolves away
We never left the jungle
We just carted it to town
The leopards took on human form
And follow us around
Chorus
Who will dare deny him there
And say it isn't so
Must claim there's no walkway at night
They wouldn't dare to go
That sovereignty or righteousness
Will keep them safe from harm
And if their own front door is shut
The whole wide world is warm
Chorus
Who will say the job is wrong
And shouldn't be at all
Must then take up the gun themselves
To guard each door and wall
Must spend their nights in sentry lines
Their days in packing heat
It's easier to pay the man
Full time to guard your streets
Chorus
Evolution never stops
We always have to choose
The thug who waits to mug you
Is collecting Darwin's dues
And you can't drive hyenas off
By kneeling down to pray
So who will raise the weapon then
To keep the beasts at bay
Chorus
Run like deer
Or die like sheep
Or take your dangers on
For you must guard your sleep yourselves

When you're in outer space no one can you scream
Face to face to with a higher being
I wipe my eyes is this is a dream?
Touch me with electric hands and it screamed
Feel me
Take my energy
Now you are the guardian
Now you are the guardian
On your own
I start to change now
Hey yeah
I start to change
Hey yeah
I'm not the same now
Hey yeah
I'm not the same now
Hey yeah
Feel me
Take my energy
Feel me
Take my energy
Now I am the guardian
Now I am the guardian
On my own
I can feel it in my brain
I can feel it through my veins
I can feel it in your pain
Now I feel like I am a god
I feel I like I am a god
start to change now
Hey yeah
I start to change
Hey yeah
I'm not the same now
Hey yeah
I'm not the same now
Hey yeah
Feel me
Take my energy
Feel me
Take my energy
Now I am the guardian
Now I am the guardian
Now I feel like I am a god

How could I've been such a fool, you know I
I fell for a man with a one way ticket to the moon
Now that you're no longer here
I ask myself if I would love where would I be?
Too young to be cynical
Life's an eternal highway
I'll see ya one day
If my thoughts can't reach you
There's a place where you can find me
If my words can't soothe you
I believe you will be forever guiding me
Oh, don't be too cruel on yourself
Cause life has a funny way of putting us to the test
You know the saying what will be will be
I'm quite confident on the results I see
Distance is the only thing between you and me
I must believe
He came into my world like a dream
And left wishing stars
At the edge of my sleep
How was I supposed to know
