Brave Actions Dispel the Darkest of Foes

Brave Actions Dispel The Darkest Of Foes


Brave actions dispel the darkest of foes
when righteous cuts heal massive woes
Deep into battles never truly completed
rise spirits again never truly defeated

Undaunted courage swings into the fray
with warrior's sword and its cutting ray
Each battle eats a few more lost souls
as demonic forces reach their evil goals

Neither wins in this eternal dark fight
the great fury blocks victory from sight
Yet victory resides in darkness quelled
not the number of savage combatants felled

On a special night a light will shine
evil goes hungry and courageous heroes dine
On triumph in its crafted golden shell
as the slain flee back into their dark Hell

Brave actions dispel the darkest of foes
when righteous cuts heal massive woes
Deep into battles never truly completed
rise spirits again never truly defeated
Every sunrise glory rains upon this earth
we fall to see blinded by our fleshly birth!
