(Verse 1)
The night is still, the world asleep,
I guard the dreams the lost ones keep,
The city breathes, the lights decay,
Yet I remain — I cannot stay.
(Pre-Chorus)
The scars I wear, the blood I’ve shed,
Remind me of the path I’ve tread,
But even when my strength is gone,
The vow I made keeps moving on.
(Chorus)
The last vigil, I stand alone,
A shadow carved in steel and stone,
Through fear and faith, through loss and pain,
I’ll guard the dark again.
(Verse 2)
No dawn can break the oath I’ve sworn,
Through years of night, my soul reborn,
Each tear I shed, each friend I’ve lost,
Reminds me what the fight has cost.
(Bridge)
But in the silence, there’s a peace,
A moment where the pain will cease,
For even if they never know,
The fire I’ve lit will always glow.
(Chorus – Reprise)
The last vigil, the night is near,
But I still stand, I feel no fear,
For though the darkness takes its due,
The light remains — because of you.
(Outro)
So when the dawn begins to bloom,
And shadows fade beyond the gloom,
Remember me, the vow I gave,
The night I kept, the world I saved.
