Round the Clock

Be always alert round the clock, 
Be aware twenty-four seven; 
The devil is roaming around
Underneath the wide blue heaven.

Satan is looking for victims, 
Hunting humans to devour; 
Never let your guard down
Every minute, every hour.

Never loosen up nor relax
Your soul's firm defensive posture; 
Bravely fight the temptation
As well as the earthly pleasure.

Let both your eyes be watchful, 
Let them be awake all the time; 
Fully conscious about the things
That may bring mud, dust, dirt, and grime.

Let your mind be vigilant, 
Lock the door during devil's knock; 
He attacks the vulnerable, 
Let your faith be strong round the clock.
