Lyrics
Intro
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind (x4)
................
Have you forgotten him

Lead1

Verse 1
Far from the land
where the sun is born
down in the wood 'Caladon'

Verse 2
Do you know that place
where the light is never seen
and all hopes are turned
by the final cry

Bridge 1
Turned to Stone (x4)

Lead2

Verse 3
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

Verse 4
And we see the raven's flying in the distance
but no wizard's singing his song

Chorus
Somebodies 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

Bridge2

Lead3

Verse 5
The elves and gnomes have to hide
when the moon is showing its face
and raging orcs will set their traps
and all forests 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 just fear the old man's song

Solo

Chorus

Lead4

Verse 6
Corrupted old gnome
betrayer of all
you know so much about all
what is your price?
GMOM: "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

Lead1

Verse 7
And so I walk across the land
and hope to hear the wizard's song

Chorus x2

Coda
Somebodies out there
I feel there is somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there is somebody

The End
Ace song.
