There, out in the darkness,
A fugitive running
Fallen from grace,
Fallen from grace.
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face!

He knows his way in the dark,
But mine is the way of the Lord
And those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward.
And if they fall,
As Lucifer fell,
The flame,
The sword!

Stars in your multitudes,
Scarce to be counted,
Filling the darkness
With order and light.
You are the sentinels,
Silent and sure,
Keeping watch in the night.
Keeping watch in the night.

You know your place in the skies
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same.
And if you fall
As Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!

And so it has been, and so it's written
On the doorway to paradise,
That those who falter,
And those who fall
Must pay the price...

Scarce to be counted,
Changing the chaos,
To order and light.
You are the sentinels,
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night.
