In the dark of the day and the bright of the night,
No evil shall pass by me tonight,
I am a warrior- so fierce, so strong,
I know this town is where I belong,
I shall watch over it today and tomorrow,
I live through all its happiness and all its sorrow,
My enemies never reach the gates,
And if they try they meet their own deadly fates,
I watch over all its streets and all its lanes,
I live through all its sunshine and all its rains,
I know that soon my time will come,
And after that I will be done,
But who will be the new heir,
I which I must declare,
Unfortuantly I must now flee,
As I have an emeny waiting for me.
