Sentinel

In this darkness where I stand alone
No life, no comforts of home
I don't fear this cos it's my call
My turn to defend the wall

Feel this cold wind as it licks my face
Feel the earth shake beneath my feet
Sense this presence it's in the air
No time for reflection I must prepare

Feel the numbness as it settles on
Feel the night chilling to the bone
I will wait here onto the dawn
I won't rest till the light has come

Not on my watch tonight
They will wake to the morning light
Feel the warmth of a new dawn
And they know that nothing is wrong

Feel the numbness as it settles on
Feel the night chilling to the bone
I will wait here onto the dawn
I won't rest till the light has come
