1:
Since the very first days
of our widely spread race
storytellers have spoken of strange creatures,
of a mythical maze
populated by things with bizarre features.
Chorus:
As the day passes
their kind stands guard
on church, on castle, on rooftop,
but as the sun sets,
the stone is broken,
the Guardians live again...
2:
One millennium past
they in stonesleep were cast,
they were betrayed by the people they cared for,
their leader stood aghast,
then thought to join them in sleep forever more.
Chorus:
As the day passes
their kind stands guard
on church, on castle, on rooftop,
but as the sun sets,
the stone is broken,
the Guardians live again...
3:
And the years passed along,
yet the stone kept them young
while the human inhabitants chose to flee,
they're remembered in song,
they went to Avalon with saddening glee.
Chorus:
As the day passes
their kind stands guard
on church, on castle, on rooftop,
but as the sun sets,
the stone is broken,
the Guardians live again...
4:
As the aeons did pass
they remained, but alas
time had fled, a full thousand years had gone by,
then across the morass
came a foreign businessman, cunning and sly.
Chorus:
As the day passes
their kind stands guard
on church, on castle, on rooftop,
but as the sun sets,
the stone is broken,
the Guardians live again...
5:
Castle Wyvern he bought,
'cross the sea he it brought,
as the castle was lifted above the skies,
the first battle was fought
when the Gargoyles awoke in a world of lies.
Chorus:
As the day passes
their kind stands guard
on church, on castle, on rooftop,
but as the sun sets,
the stone is broken,
the Guardians live again...
6:
Later, friends they did earn,
found that truth sometimes'd burn
when they learned they'd been betrayed by their own kind,
humans fled, they them'd spurn,
but some remained, and there they friendship could find.
End Chorus:
The saga goes forth,
the Clan remains,
now they protect the whole city,
at night you may see
proof of this legend,
the Guardians live again...
