Gargoyle

Bound by everlasting vow
Amass virtues endow
Guardian of mankind
Masonry stone confined

Residing on clock tower crest
Stoic heartbeats in a chest
Midnight bells toll
O' reanimate a petrified soul

Long ago in times past
Roaming in starlit skies vast
Knights of the royal guard
Scribed by a poetic bard

Dreaming of ancient times
Defenders of infinite crimes
In stasis they stay
Awaiting another day

Eyes search for a sign
When armies align
Endeavoring to fly
On midnights darkened sky
