My Conscience
My Guide
swords made of shadows
the watcher of the night
delivering a deathblow
to the evil taking flight
*
An arrow with no mercy
guided into the heart of death
a good and faithful servant
till my last and final breath
*
Though many rage against me
I will stand steady and strong
defeat the foe against thee
with a wrath of soldiers songs
*
A refuge from your struggles
a shield throughout the fight
A confidant in troubles
Guiding paths into the light
*
You may not remember
I was there when you began
stoking every ember
until you became a man
*
The hero of the broken
The master of the wall
I will stand before to aid you
and together, stand or fall
