(Verse 1)
He stands where the streetlights die
Where the city forgets its prayers
Every shadow knows his name
But no one knows he’s there
He learned the truth in quiet ways
In broken homes and borrowed fear
Saw justice bend, saw mercy rot
And swore he’d stay right here
(Pre-Chorus)
He doesn’t run, he doesn’t chase
He waits for cracks to show their face
(Chorus)
He’s the Watchman in the dark
Counting sins like scars
Every secret leaves a mark
And he remembers all
No sirens, no applause
Just the weight of every cause
When the guilty swear they’re clean
He’s already seen it all
(Verse 2)
They call him cold, they call him wrong
Say he crossed an unseen line
But lines don’t matter when the law
Is always late on time
He watched the heroes turn to dust
Watched villains wear their crowns
Learned the world won’t save itself
So he breaks it down
(Pre-Chorus)
No halo, no disguise
Just truth reflected in their eyes
(Chorus)
He’s the Watchman in the dark
Counting sins like scars
Every secret leaves a mark
And he remembers all
No sirens, no applause
Just the weight of every cause
When the guilty swear they’re clean
He’s already seen it all
(Bridge)
He doesn’t claim to be the light
He just knows where shadows breed
If the world won’t face its crimes
He’ll be what it needs
They pray for mercy when he speaks
But mercy’s not his role
He doesn’t break their bodies first—
He breaks control
(Dark Choir Solo)
(Final Chorus)
He’s the Watchman in the dark
At the edge of right and wrong
Every step they thought was safe
Was watched all along
No crown, no righteous cause
Just a reckoning that crawls
When the truth has nowhere left
He’ll be standing at the wall
