In the shadows we walk
Hunting the evil as we stalk
Armed with truth
Armoured with love
We are the brothers of the night
Silent and still we fight for freedom
Called and called upon
We go where others fear
Into the darkness
Into the sightless doom
Carrying hope to light the way
Endless battle is our joy
We are the free and we choose to fight
We are the unknown and unseen
Names we cast away to be named
Brother, sister. Fear is gone
lost in a demons mouth
Our day approaches when we will walk in the light
Guardians of the land your day approaches

"Lost in a demon's mouth" That's a very interesting concept. I'd like to see a contest run with that as the prompt. I'd imagine that it would wreak havoc in our peer's minds!
I'm pleased that my little quote inspired this piece - it's quite an interesting poem. Your imagery is nice and the vocabulary adds a layer of strength to the work altogether.
Nicely done. Thank you for your entry & good luck in the contest -
I really liked lines 16 and 17. The most powerful in the piece I would say.
Good write and good luck.
