Custodians All lyrics

Custodians it's so, all we are

For none can bear a hand tense

That moral means shall touch

To keep a grasp e'er lasting

Let it be the earth, an abode

Or its possessions close kept

In the change of a single age

It all will pass on unfettered

The past's cherished voice

Will be silenced to anonymity

Only to a careful custodian

That will take on duties incurred

There is no claim to hold

To boast or balk of that

Treasures tracked and traced

To maintain their earthly tract

There are those who chase

After fashionable prestige

Spending for luxury's lure

Awing easily with fool's gold

See those greyed spending

To flaunt for envy's plight

Coveting their goods grand

To capture what is e'er lost

But truth unrealized abounds

Availed in the unachievable

No amount of money gained

Could ever buy back youth
