Gargoyle

Carved in stone
Protect us in
A place inside
Bereft of sin

And evil does
Think twice to meet
In touch become
By His entreat
The guilty ones
Who've broken code
And law's insight
With haste take hold

The Gargoyle he
Does wander far
By nighttime journey
Boulevard

To hunt by hour
Path to crime
And mark the evil
One more time

But then become
By evening end
Return to stone
In peace again
