just an odd song i came up with. i've edited out the chorus because it is an actual poem without it.

The Sentry

I'm watching from the shadows
trailing mortal lives
but you'll only see me
at the moment of your demise

oh silent sentry
take me by your side
give me eternity
and break the mortal ties that bind


watch us fall into the tide
the pains in me are so many
i have begun to go blind


how can only i hear your cry
like me there are not any
i am only one frozen deep in time

I'm watching from the shadows
trailing mortal lives
but you'll only see me
at the moment of your demise

you asked for this my prescious
to be rescued from the tide
and now alone you face the verascious
the hungry the lonly and the tired
