"Guardians" is a Trance song by Au5 featuring Fiora. It was released via Monstercat on October 12, 2015, and is included as the tenth track on Monstercat 024 - Vanguard.

Background[edit | edit source]

Au5 announced via Twitter on October 9, 2015, that he and Fiora had "something very special" that would be coming "very soon".^[1]

The Message[edit | edit source]

“	Guardians is about finding the strength to overcome the fear and pain of dark times in the arms of someone you love and trust, whether it be a friend, family, God, or your higher self. Don't let what you believe in be shot down, hold onto it. Stay open to whatever the future may hold and have faith in what is to come. Sometimes when it seems like the world is falling apart, all it takes is for someone to remind you that "it's ok". It’s all part of the big picture and any experience, good or bad, is a valuable one.	”
– Au5 via Facebook^[2]

Rise like a sun, let it burn our crimson peace

Open to all this could be

Bright as the sky and the promises beneath

Hold on to your own belief

Stay next to me

I'll remind you of a love we could keep

In your darkest hour, stay next to me

You and I'll discover hurts we could overcome

Together as one

Together

Rise like a sun, let it burn our crimson peace

Open to all this could be

Bright as the sky and the promises beneath

Hold on to your own belief

Together as one

Together
