.
Beacon of the coast
Spackled mortar, brick
Aged defender
When troubles grew thick

Forgotten sentinel
Hope in the night
Lashed but triumphant
From a hurricane's might

Steadfast and tall
In a gentle breeze
Sunlight faded paint
Cracked by winter's freeze

Corroded metal
Dull rusty brown
Light once bright
Diamond in your crown

Abandoned ally
Rapidly fading away
Endangered existence
Crumbling ruin, decay

Silent protector
On a craggy shore
Helpless as the world
Needs you no more
