A Call of Reckoning
Deep from within
the belly of the beast
Rumbling cries of
starvation call for a feast.
Hidden for centuries
from the eyes of man
Slipping through shadows
he completes his plan.
Creating wars of distraction
blinding our leaders
While he decayed our
morals with hate in meters.
Dipping into his well of
disease, he tips the ladle
Stealing a child’s Soul
right from their cradle.
The righteous has battled
becoming weary from attacks
He ravaged their bodies with
illness forcing all to fall back.
He covers the world in a
darkened despair of disbelief
Consuming their thoughts with
doubts bared through grief.
Heavens horn sounds for the
righteous to armor for war
The word your sword, faith
your shield, love is the core.
Wrap tightly around truth
cover your hearts with honor
Prepare your feet in peace
this brings the beast dishonor.
Arise warriors of God our
war is not against one another
His call is for all sisters,
brothers, fathers and mothers.
We must uncover our lights
to destroy his dark domain
Those lost to him need rescuing
before time has drained.
Grace will carry us, Mercy
delivers and Love will heal
Side by side our light will spread,
God’s Hand he will feel.
We are groomed for this time,
from the ashes we rise again
Thus foretold by those who felt
power run through their pen.
