With His Might
Into the darkness, the horsemen ride on
With plans of attack at the morrow.
The village lay dormant, quiet and true.
Soon, many will fill up with sorrow.
The lust in their eyes, a fury beheld
Will never be quenched by their blood.
But, the innocents, well, they will suffer
As the horsemen ride on, on their studs.
To kill and to plunder, lay waste all the souls
With no meaning behind all their actions
The horsemen ride on into history, though,
And never acquire satisfaction.
They continue on from town to town
With purpose, none, except to kill.
Destroy all in their way, pure simple doom
Blood curdling cries remains their thrill.
But, from the ashes, a child overlooked
Will grow strong in the years yet to come
He will get smart and learn to fight
And send them to Hell, where they’re from.
His days in history will overshadow theirs
For he, alone, holds truth and light
He will become king, to all that wish to serve,
For he represents all, with his might.
