Gargoyle

Gargoyle

Eyes of stone are watching 
High above the ground 
Protecting from the evil
That lingers all around

Why must you old grotesque one
Dwell there all alone
What immortal sin did you commit
That put you on that throne

Somehow I feel a sorrow 
I do not understand
For your are just a creation
Of a sculptures hand

Still something about you moves me
Should I even care 
For I’m a free man walking 
And you must sit and stare
