They were guardians of the breath
  Trusted with those precious chances
  Keeping Gaia from the fear of death
  Balances must be defended
  
  To take only what they must
  (Borrowed from the future)
  Live in lovers of a global home
  (Our children will remember)
  
  Guardians slept while comfort came
  The vapours poison, the acid rain fell
  The spirit cut from earthly bounds
  The creature stirred the pain
  
  How much abuse can she take
  (Awake from your dreamtime)
  The lines are drawn our justice awaits
  (Will the guardians surrender)
  
  The forest bare, a desert born
  The life pushed out
  They sold her cheaply
  All for a shilling for next weeks treat
  A marvel that had taken ten thousand years
  
  To take only what they must
  (Borrowed from the future)
  Live in lovers of a global home
  (Our children will remember)
  
  They are guardians of the breath
  Trusted with those precious chances
  They are guardians of the breath
  Balances must be defended
