In The Light, In the Night

The sun is rising

We go back to spying

We're whom they think in the light

But not in the night

When it's day

All they do is pray

While we sit for hundreds of hours

Along all of their tall towers

We're hard on the inside

Even harder on the outside

But that's what they expect us to be

We're never to go free

Even if we could

What would we do?

We're trained for one thing

So we just do what we should

All day long in the sun

Our work is never done

We're frozen in the light

But by night we fight

In the night the demons come

Come to take them all

Said to be sent by the Devil himself

Sighting us, fighting us, deep into the dark, dark night

We may look like stone

But we fight the fight and do what is right

This fight is never ending

Because he sends them to get them all

Just as us, they work at night

Fighting their own fight

Not doing what is right

But doing as was told

I believe these demons were once like them

These people we watch

These people we guard like guardian angels

They are deceived by demons of their own

This fight is useless but even still

We do it every night

These people think we do nothing at all

Because in the light we sit but in the night we fight for them
