*Everyday I walk into hell*
*I leave the earth behind*
*As I take on the demons*
*Locked away from all*
* *
*Im not a god*
*But only a man*
*In a suit of blue*
*That does this for you*
* *
*The devil walks*
*Amongst the people here*
*He turns men into beasts*
*And nightmares to life*
* *
*And it is us*
*My brothers and sisters*
*Who take on the worst*
*To protect the gates of hell*
* *
*We do things that most wont*
*And some, that few can*
*We look evil in the face*
*And barely bat an eye*
* *
*And when the shift ends*
*Most all of us come back*
*To walk the earth*
*Amongst the free*
* *
*But for those we lose*
*We shall not forget*
*The price it costs*
*To keep you safe*
* *
*So when you see*
*A man in blue*
*Walking down the street*
*Remember this*
* *
*We do this for you*
*And ask nothing in return*
*We live and die*
*To protect the gates of hell*
