Who dares disturb my restful sleep?
Halt stranger, your noisy tactics
Have ruined my bedtime routine!
Tread lightly, keep your steps soft
Or we'll be forced to face off

Such cacophony is not wanted in my home
If you disagree then disengage and leave me well alone
Hush now human, my rules may be firm but they are fair
If you remain low in volume you may leave without a care

You must be punished for your defiance
I'm a sentinel of silence, guardian of peace and quiet!
It's important to act with compliance
I'm a sentinel of silence follow my rules or meet violence!

Where have you come from child?
The ruins are usually quite mild
No stranger enters here
Without me knowing who draws near

I know each step that's taken
I know each noise that's made and
I know each voice and each laugh and each sigh in this haven
I hear the crying in this space
I hear the lying to their face
I've never heard such determined steps take place!

Such cacophony is not wanted in my home
If you disagree then disengage and leave me well alone
It seems you're not quite as loud as I had once assumed
I see a soul that enjoys the peaceful space we consume

Maybe we don't have to get so violent
I'm a sentinel of silence, guardian of peace and quiet!
You too enjoy a life of refinement
You're a sentinel of silence, honorary guard of quiet!

Tread lightly keep your steps soft
My new friend you must be off!
I hope you find your goal
And you escape here with your soul
