Keeper of the Night

I'm the Keeper of the Night
She said with no emotion in her voice.
It's a job filled with the struggle
To keep away the light.

I'm the Keeper of the Night
She said with a note of pride
To be entrusted is an honor
I protect darkness with my might.

I'm the Keeper of the Night
She said, her words tinged with sorrow
I carry the heavy burden
Of forever fighting blight.

I'm the Keeper of the Night
She said in a weary tone
It's been a long assignment
To be the night's white knight.

I'm the Keeper of the Night
She said in a bare whisper
I don't know how long I'll stand
For this battle against white.
