War and Sacrifice

Death is upon us,
the stars are falling,
smoke is rising,
but we shall rise,
united as we scream,
this declaration of war,
and a voice shall soon ask,
'Will you become the sacrifice,
to protect this world?'
Doubt shall fill hearts,
pain shall sound in the air,
blood will flood the earth,
and my answer shall be yes.

Fight For Freedom

I've lived in this cage all my life,
never knowing what the outside looked like,
never Knowing what it was like to be free.
Invisible cage of despair, what are you doing to me?


But I see a light, a chance at freedom.
I now understand that life isn't just a phantom,
but one of free souls and light,
and now I understand that I must fight.


I will fight for my freedom, until I am dead.
Even if I fall, I will stand, until the earth runs red.
I will fight for the freedom I am given,
I will fight for the freedom that I will give them.



Even if I go through the house of death and tyranny,
to reach the end of the journey,
I will not fall, I will not give in,
for I must be the one, against darkness, to win.

The Prophecy of Light

Humans beware, the time has come,
the time of darkness has begun.
The white sun shall turn to black,
and a lost war shall come back.

A hero, a child of light,
may show us how to fight.
So find your friends and follow their call,
or darkness may surely devour us all

One of flame and one of sea,
two for life that they plea.
One of earth and one of sky,
two of which that wish to fly.

Gather the four and give them faith,
and the fifth shall surely light the way.
Take them to war and show them their fight,
take them to war and show them their might.

The child of light shall decide who stands,
the fate of the world rests in their hands.
So pray they take care, hope they choose right,
as the darkened heart of one may lead the path of light.

By My Side

I’ve always traveled this lost road ahead,
And I have no map to be my guide.
But I guess that’s okay,
As long as you’re there, walking by my side.

When you’re with me,
I see the light.
As long as you fight by my side,
Every day is bright.

You make me strong,
You make me brave.
You are the story,
That I crave.

You’ll never know,
How much I’ll cry,
When that time comes,
To say goodbye.

You gave me purpose,
I know that’s true.
You showed me love,
And pulled me through.

I now know how,
To be brave,
And that's because,
You showed me the way.

You’ve always traveled this lost road ahead,
And you have no map to be your guide.
But you know that’s okay,
As long as I’m on your mind, walking by your side.

I Remember

Do you remember me?
My dear friend,
Do you remember?
The day of our meeting?
How two misfits crossed paths?
How two small souls became one?
Do you remember?

I remember.
The times we’ve shared,
The tears you’ve shed,
The smile you hid,
The love you showed me,
I remember it,
I remember how the stars,
Seemed to align,
How I began to feel whole,
Do you remember?

I remember.
How the darkness came,
How the blood began to spill,
How you never gave in,
How you chose death,
Over darkness and suffering,
I remember feeling your strength,
I remember feeling your love,
Your fire,
Never fell back,
But became stronger,
Do you remember?

I remember our time of parting,
I remember the tears in your eyes,
Pain in your voice as you said goodbye,
I remember my aching heart,
As you faded from my vision,
How I could never hear you again,
Or tell you how much I miss you.
Do you remember?

You don’t know what it’s like,
To fear someone’s forgotten,
The love you gave,
The precious memories that was made,
I look to the stars and pray,
That you haven’t forgotten me,
My love, my dearest friend,
I remember.

Do you remember me?
