Artas the dog, vanquisher of mailmen

Enveloped in stillness, this fortress serene Till sudden clanging disrupts the scene A shrill alarm, it tolls and it rings Tearing the calm, as a new trial springs Artas awakens, his instincts aroused In the dead of the night, a protector espoused It's a showdown, Artas brace for the chaos' dawn Steel Crouched low beside my gate Teeth bared for the fate I've read I seek that courage swelling Paws firm, eyes set Like a tempest, I launch with a primal might Loud barks echoing, a terror igniting the night With the hounds of hell fury, in my howl it resides Not a force on Earth could hold back my thundering strides Hush now, brave Artas, 'tis but a gentle ring No demons here, no need for that fierce spring Lay down your guard, beneath my soothing hand In the queen's peace, you safely shall stand Whispers soft, the mistress calms the raging storm Just a guest has come, no need to sound the alarm
