"A Siren Calling in the Night..."

A siren calling in the night,
A sniper’s gun along a sill,
A man convinced that he is right,
Prepared to wait and then to kill.

Who first denounced the middle way,
Appealing to a bunch of facts,
And now will not be seen by day
But in the dark does righteous acts?
