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
