The Guardian
Sumerlands Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

l'll never have to wonder if you ever cared
Even when there's no one, a part of you is there
I'm never lonely and this I still believe
I'm not the only one here, I hope you never leave
If I'm feeling lost, I look to you as my guide

I'll never be forsaken, you're always by my side
Whenever I'm forsaken, always be there by my side

I know you're out there because I can feel your near
Like a shadow in the distance, you're somewhere
Awaiting always to save me from myself
If I close my eyes, I see you waiting there to help

Someone watch over me, someone maybe you
Someone I never see, but still I reach out to
Someone watch over me, someone maybe you




Someone I never see, but still I reach out to
Someone, is it you?

That unique Marshall sound is amazing

@Thepoltergiest101

Really old school Heavy Metal yet it has it's own distinctive sound.

@anibalabad3869

The lyrics are amazing.

@vladimirvladstorf

It is so difficult to find quality metal bands today, these guys put a grin on my face. Those dark 80s vibes and the inverted power chords... Powerful

@listenhealthily

i dont know what an inverted power chord is :o(

@LocoDirewolf

@@listenhealthily, it's when the root is on top instead on the bottom

@makmadable

ozzy in the first verse and halfordish in his painkiller days in the second verse...this album is f$%king addictive...phil's voice keeps playing in my head and OMG the solos!

@TheBlinken222

I've never been left with a deeper yearning for continuation of a guitar solo! Simply amazing!
