Upon the walls dance the shadows of night.
Creatures of darkness waltzing in the way,
They fade away with new dawn’s breaking light.

They do not speak, but when they’ve given fright,
They frighten more, and now they’re here to stay.
Upon the walls dance the shadows of night.

I summon all my courage and my might.
They think that this is fun, merely child’s play.
They fade away with new dawn’s breaking light.

In shining armor, I must be a knight
For my own, and enter into the fray.
Upon the walls dance the shadows of night.

The battle lasts till morning; I am quite
Exhausted, but I’ve won and now I pray
They fade away with new dawn’s breaking light.

The sun’s great glows are comforting and bright.
The warriors must escape from harmful day.
Upon the walls dance the shadows of night
They fade away with new dawn’s breaking light.
