I remember that feeling On the day you lost your way Your eyes had lost all hope Wondering if things would be okay I helped you find your path Your spirits rose with time But at the end of it all I never thought I'd say goodbye I can't see your face anymore And it hurts just to think about But as days go by and the time draws close I'll be with you once again Let me be your saviour With hope we'll make it right If you'd let me guide your path, I'd let you be my light Let me be your guardian I'll be with you through our days We'll stay together here until our memory fades I can't see your face anymore And it hurts just to think about But as days go by and the time draws close I'll be with you once again

The crown will fall with a clatter, The faith of nations to shatter, The hunter outsmarts his prey, Speed the last vestiges of day. Oh who can stand, Against my mighty hand, Even chaos rules to my command (command). Last chance! Will you bow? In the end, they will know, will you bow? A true king fit to rule, will you bow? Holding to weakness, deluding each other, will you bow? Oh, just like my brother, will you bow? Your trusted guardians, defeated, Do you see what defiance brings? See them helpless, locked away, Burn the world, usher in the new age.

The road before you calls for might, it feeds on pain No mercy shall receive the souls who foolishly seek fame Come down now from your pipe dream This is nothing more than desiccated fantasy You want to fly, but you don't know It's too high You're a little girl with a little mind You'll stay in line, you'll stay in line You're a little girl, it's a bigger world You've got loads of time before you make the climb You're dead in the water No soldier, no saint, is my daughter There's no way you'll be able to shine Are you mean, are you strong, are you wild? Do you push like a heavy machine? 'Cause the road is long through the water and wind and the fire But if you're so bold then you go and you make me believe I've had enough of you and your little cage I don't wanna stay, I won't obey I'm a little girl taking on the world Now you stay out of my way, 'cause I'm not here to play You think that you know me That I'm weak, like I'm glass that needs holding Well I'll end your delusion today 'Cause I'm mean, and I'm strong, and I'm wild And I push like a heavy machine 'Cause the road is long through the water and wind and the fire And I'm so bold that I'll go and I'll make you believe 'Cause I'm mean, and I'm strong, and I'm wild And I push like a heavy machine 'Cause the road is long through the water and wind and the fire And I'm so bold that I'll go and I'll make you believe 'Cause I'm mean, and I'm strong, and I'm wild And I push like a heavy machine 'Cause the road is long through the water and wind and the fire And I'm so bold that I'll go and I'll make you believe

September blue, they sorrows be forgotten October auburn, let this season pass November grey, restore with thy rain December white, thy beauty everlast Light of virtue shown Sign of one's true form To grow only small, giving guidance for all Seen while hardly known (repeat chorus) Bright inviting morn Brilliant rays reborn So, follow along, as the shadows have gone Walk where time has torn (repeat chorus) Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh, (final chorus) December white (December white) Thy beauty E--(thy beauty e--)-verlast

静かに両目を閉じた shizuka ni me wo tojita I silently closed my eyes 寂しく 月を照らす sabishiku tsuki wo terasu All alone I shine upon the moon 今出来ることをやろう  ima dekiru koto wo yarou I’ll do what I can now 未来を残すなら mirai wo nokosu nara if I leave the future behind このままで済まされようか? kono mama de sumasare you ka? Can I really let it end like this? 嘘の現のその境界を探しゆく…… uso no utsutsu no sono kyoukai o sagashi yuku We’re going to search for the border between lies and reality…

We're a second away from either life or death And it's a pleasure to share with you my last few breaths But it if means better days, there's not a moment to spare It's time to be the sign of hope inside this plight of despair 'Cause it's a war out here, ohh ohhh 'Cause it's a war out here, ohh ohhh 'Cause it's a war out here, bullets sing in the air It's time to be the sign of hope inside this plight of despair

Sometimes the stars unalign, But I can’t accept that you’ll never be mine, Sometime fate isn't our friend, But something deep inside believes that you’ll be back again. And every time I see you go, With your apple cart packed high, It hurts me more than you could know, deep inside.

It's time to wake ya ass up A cuppa folgers is not enough It's rougher for us as we get older But no matter what For these horses I remain a soldier Cuz I got a chip on my shoulder Bigger than Holder's Boulder Thought I told you I represent the culture To borrow a phrase Yeah I protected it from the vultures And now I gotta go hard again for this fandom I will always defend For the homies ponies and all my friends I'm the Guardian Babs Seed is back baby it's bully time Gotta a hoof fulla fury packed into every line Despite what you might think no everything is not fine Especially when we got these suckas celebrating our decline No please tell me how it's going making real music Hiding who you are and what you did, just so you can prove it To the cool kids and producers that you're hip now While still making ass tracks nobody gives a shit about Yuh, best believe that I won't mince words or hold back When wack acts start sniffing themselves And snap at my whole pack As a matter of fact I think that they feel sad cuz you know what I can't even finish this man just cut it just cut the track just render it I don't even care anymore dude It was all good back in the day with these fools Now they wanna switch up and...yeah whatever

Day in, day out, Monotone throughout, Them tomorrow we’ll do it all again, No more cares left to give, This is the life I live, What’s worse, it’s cursed to never end. Rainbow flowing hair, The smile I have to wear, These are the things in which I drown, You’re the most ungrateful snot, In all of Canterlot, I’ll burn this whole place to the ground Night in, night out, Nought but dark and doubt, And loneliness setting in, No one here to say, How are you today?, Just the voice the lives within. Translucent flowing hair, The dreams under my care, These are the things in which I drown, The great Celestia, Of Equestria, Just a fake smile and a crown.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, There was mighty hero - glorious and brave. His breathe is flame and his skin is steel. All your diamonds and rubies would be eaten by him! He rides the alicorn, when the lightning strikes. Even small could be the greatest hero of the world! SPIKE - THE DRAGONLORD! The elders foretold, that the day should come, When the hero will raise to save the Crystal Heart! All the enemies, beware, when you see his spikes! You'd better run, you have no chance to survive! He rides the alicorn, when the lightning strikes. Even small could be the greatest hero of the world! SPIKE - THE DRAGONLORD! And someone may ask, “How could the dragonlord have no weakness at all?” While his breathe is flame, and his skin is steel... His heart is no longer belong to him... Although every filly lays down at his feet ... Afore the only mare he would bow his knee! But he's got no time to lose, his bushido calls He must fight the other dragons to be the only dragonlord! We call for the heaven, We call for our Lord. We'll be thankful forever For his mighty sword. We call for his wisdom, We pray for his health Even little dragon, Could be a King. He rides the alicorn, when the lightning strikes Even small could be the greatest hero of the world. SPIKE! THE DRAGONLORD!

She’s a salty mare, I’m from a salty sea, I can’t wait to find, what she’s got for me, I’ve been out at sea, barely remember land, And now all I need’s, a cider with my band. So bring it out, I’ll drink it down, And please don’t be perplexed, When in five seconds, we want another round, You know what we need next. More Cider! It is all I want, In My Cup! And then again fivefold. More Cider! Spilled all down my front, Fill Me Up! With that amber gold One night at port, with spirits high, Taverns in our wake, all have been drunk dry But this salty mare, with her in our throng, We will keep the taps, flowing all night long. So bring it out, I’ll drink it down, Just like it was my first Then in five seconds, we’ll want another round, Nothing can quench my thirst.. More Cider! It is all I want, In My Cup! And then again fivefold. More Cider! Spilled all down my front, Fill Me Up! With that amber gold We were sailing on the mighty sea Fighting against a huge monster Of course, we won, and we were free But then all the crew needed cider! So our next cap was the mother land Looking for something good to drink We went to many places with the band But they had not enough cider to drink! Then she appeared in front of us This beauty mare who runs a farm We promised her not to make a fuss So she invited us in her barn! It’s the best cider we ever drank Gimme one, gimme two, gimme three no: gimme four We will drink til the last tank And we’ll stay here to party hard!

A lovely maiden of flaxen hair her eyes so sweet with love to spare I know I must leave to answer the call But still I find I must tarry With heart we train, our strength we gain To save both valley and homestead We can’t turn tail, we must not fail The battle looms on the horizon! The bitter war comes all too soon And as we join the front platoon A gruesome creature stood fiendishly tall And dared all who heard to battle “Your bodies are weak and oh so small You are no threat to me at all But just to show my strength and might I challenge any one of you to battle Should you succeed my horde will withdraw But when you fail I will take it all My talons will bite through armor and hide There is no escape, your valley is mine” The fearsome beast, he taunted us all For none would move to answer the call With spear in hand and rock-set jaw I know I must cannot falter The glint of steel, the swipe of claw My spear deflected, I felt my fall But in his pride he opened his side And there I thrust my sword The sun will rise, our enemies flee The tide has changed, the valley set free The deed is done, the fight is won But now I find I must tarry Tell my love that I am well The claw doesn’t sting the wound isn’t sore I cannot wait to see her again But still I find I must tarry “Welcome home my love You have fought, and now you’re done now come join me where the air is sweet and the grass is always soft oh the grass is always soft”

There she goes, up the road I'd take a chance if I was bold Tell the truth, her heart is gold I'm in love Maybe she'd be doing chores Mending fences, squeaky doors Bakin' pies and washin' floors I'm in Love If there's trouble or commotion That's when her plan goes into motion I'm just waitin' for a sign To tell her that she's mighty fine And with a little bit of luck And a little bit of time That sweet little girl's gonna be all mine With those perfect freckles and those big green eyes I'm in love If I could, and if she'd have it I'd turn this longing into habit I bet that it'd cause a stir If I could shout out I'm with her My friends say man, you're out of your league But she's everything that I need her to be They might be right, but speaking honestly I'm in love She's savin' the world, I'm savin' my pennies Got everything she needs and I don't have any way to try to show her it's alright I really think she's out of sight Do do do Hey hey hey I'm in love

Blink only once then it’s all over When the words have bite Don’t give in I’ll put up a fight, they mustn’t, See me cry I have to Keep it inside, through my eyes, you will see, what I Hide from sight, all my hate and bitterness I’m scared that they’ll see my weak side God forbid but, I swear I won’t be defeated I must shut her out Let me in Bask in spiteful thoughts, blame everyone else Am I too far gone? Am I a demon? Doubt is all I feel No one can know Keep it inside, through my eyes, you will see, what I Hide from sight, all my hate and bitterness I’m scared that they’ll see my weak side God forbid but, I swear I won’t be defeated

Empty books In a long deserted hallway Echoes back that empty promise That you said on that very first day "Well I have to let you discover on your own Don't make the same mistakes that left me all alone With an empty throne And I see the same in you All of what you're going through Though you never even knew How you hid behind your books And avoid to save you looks From all the ones that want you to Be the best of you" Memories In a past that's filled with dismay Arise from your hollow promise A voice that shakes as you try to say Well I have to let you discover on your own Don't make the same mistakes that left me all alone In an empty home And I see the same in you All of what you're going through And you never even knew How you hid behind your books And avoid to save you looks From the ponies that want you to Be the best of you And I see the same in you All of what you're going through And you never even knew How you hid behind your books And avoid to save you looks From the ponies that want you to Be the best of you And I see the same in you All of what you're going through And you never even knew How you hid behind your books And avoid to save you looks From the ponies that want you to Be the best of you(edited)

Will you tell me what you see in me Will you tell me why, you've set me free I want to know, why you're here I am losing sight of who I am, who I am I see a fading light, that I can't understand Will you tell me... for what, you fight Will you tell me why, I'm here with you tonight Am I a guardian, or a fear You and I believe in different futures Open up your eyes and see my visions I'll take you up to see the stars with me 'cause You and I take part in something greater Open up your mind, and hear my prayers I'll show you what I dream the world to be Have I lost my way to see the end I don't know what to say to make amends Will you tell me what you see in me Will you tell me why, you've set me free I want to know what you see to be true Why do I trust you now, am I so incomplete Why do I feel such doubt, what is it that I seek Will you tell me... for what, you fight Will you tell me why, I'm here with you tonight Am I a peacemaker to you You and I believe in different futures Open up your eyes and see my visions I'll take you up to see the stars with me 'cause You and I take part in something greater Open up your mind, and hear my prayers I'll show you what I dream the world to be

I’ve lost my sanity I’ve lost my empathy I’ve gained telepathy And a keen sense of efficiency I am a hive mind A dead inside mind Ethically blind Cruel and unkind I am a cog in the machine I know they’ll never set me free I am a cog in the machine I know they’ll never set me free I am a cog in the machine I know they’ll never set me free I am a cog in the machine I know they’ll never set me free

Hot inside like a middle school kid Flip the screen of the tube instead Horror films in black and white Pull the shades from day to night I knew I was Looking for thrills I lose myself Looking for thrills I knew I was Looking for thrills I lose myself Looking for thrills My mind is full of video tape Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night My mind is full of video tape Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night Take your body in the night Take your body in the night Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night I knew I was Looking for thrills I lose myself Looking for thrills I knew I was Looking for thrills I lose myself Looking for thrills My mind is full of video tape Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night My mind is full of video tape Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night Take your body in the night Take your body in the night Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night Hit the streets so hard Take your body in the night

Ponies at Dawn presents our 11th album, Guardians! As usual, all donations go towards the artists who helped to make this album a reality. This album was thematically based upon ideas of war, peace and standing up for what's important, which we hope is reflected in some of the music available. It's incredible how strongly our community came together for this album, and that shows in the sheer magnitude and quality of the music available.
