I Have Fallen

I have fallen


I have fallen; this death I despise.
When I have fallen; will I rise?
Will I float up, above the skies?
I have fallen…will I rise?


Arise titan!  You are strong of heart!
Arise puritan!  You are pure of thought!
Arise illumini!  You are the light in the dark!
Arise I tell you!  This is the end of your war!


As I get to my feet, I am lost in a thought;
Am I strong enough?  To rise once more?
Once more the time has come, to draw my sword.
Once more I manage to make a stand;
Never again shall I fall.


As angels lead me throughout Heaven;
I am surrounded by light, in search of family and friends.
As I am lead into the afterlife,
I am told my new life has just begun…
And there will be no end.
