Old Guard Lyrics

It came so suddenly, a death I can't escape

I have to face it now, if fate's in place

If honor's found in death, then I'll accept

A trophy left behind, is all that's kept

It came so suddenly, a rebirth out of place

I struggle to accept, even if it's fate

Life's birth is praised, but endless life is feared

A strange existence, that no one can cheer

The Old Guard, through endless time they stand

Immortal soldiers, quietly guarding the land

The Old Guard, true heroes in history's shade

Their deeds unsung, yet forever they remain

It was too strange to see, unknown faces near

Shared pain is not for me, I won't adhere

I have my own path, a life to call my own

A gift from God, for those I've known

It's a life I can't take, I wish to return

Even if death awaits, it's what I yearn

A life with no purpose, just fighting on

Why does God give me this burden strong?

Life's endless struggles, pain we can't ignore

Aging and death, but there's so much more, ya

Heroes trained, forced to fight, never rest

They know death's sting, pain at its best

If fate's real, it's tied to suffering, true

Each challenge we face, meant just for you

Living through time, with duty in hand

Eternal life, with a burden so grand

It's clear in time, the meaning I sought

Not to ask why, but what it brought

If I help today, they'll help in turn

A relay of love, for which we yearn

In death and life, we pass on love

An immortal thread, a tapestry woven above

The Old Guard, through endless time they stand

Immortal soldiers, quietly guarding the land

The Old Guard, true heroes in history's shade

Their deeds unsung, yet forever they remain

The Old Guard, through endless time they stand

Immortal soldiers, quietly guarding the land

The Old Guard, true heroes in history's shade

Their deeds unsung, yet forever they remain

In death and life, we pass on love

An immortal thread, a tapestry woven above
