Battle

Storms of the soul invade my perception Yearning for a personal resurrection. Fragmented emotions dangle from each new face Leaving me in an empty place. Fires once ignited grow rapidly dim Because of the sin that dwells within. Phantom lovers drift in and out Claiming to know what love is all about. `Bruised an rejected Far from perfected. Injected with madness To drown out this sadness. Lost yesterday’s lead into my tomorrows While the voice of reason drowns out this sorrow. Abandoned in a land famished and dry The absence of water restricts my eyes to cry. Violent assaults protrude at my mind Only in sweet silence will my heart ever shine. All of these voices demand my attention It’s as if they reserved for me a reputable pension. Roads of confusion are filled with delusion Seducing our solders while leaving them colder How do you get out of web spun for fun? It’s only by mercy, it’s only by one Armies of darkness capture each being Claiming ownership over all that we are seeing Facetious attempts to keep our men bent But as they grow closer the angels are sent. Once on the field they will not relent There is grace for all those that gladly repent. Victory smells like a clear spring day When colors of dismay quickly fade away Pillars of flames light up the clear night And the fights you’ve been fighting suddenly grows light For battles were never meant to be fought on our own In the mist of all chaos we can hear heavens song.
