The call of the watchmen.

Guardians of the post.

By Jordan ZunigaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The watchmen, the watchmen, the watchmen in the night,

The lamppost in the darkness, the eyes that linger on, so contrite,

The presence on the watchpost, the guardian on the wall,

The lion prowling throughout the passage, the safeguard to the keep,

The defender against invaders, the lookout of what should creep,

The watchmen, the watchmen, the watchmen in the night,

The sounder of the trumpet, the caller of those on board,

The announcer of battle, the messenger as the prelude before the sword!

The watchmen, the watchmen, the watchmen hidden in plain sight,

The watchmen, the watchmen, the watchmen of the night!
