Since Poetry Soup does not allow A.I. I should confess here that A.I. helped a little here.  However, its mainly my poem.


 

The train fled through forlorn forests Emerging on the stormy steppes It crossed the raging ravine waters Up the rugged crags it crept. I was on that midnight journey Seeking you to join your cause I felt your honor and your yearning Your defiance of unjust laws (chorus) Your example was the spark And as long as you stay true The torch will light up in the dark And I'll follow you Through the shadows of the city I searched each alley, every street Whispers told of your bravery How you stood, did not retreat Near dawn, I finally found you Eyes aflame with steadfast fire You said, "The old ways can yet renew" "To real freedom we shall aspire." (chorus) Your example was the spark And as long as you stay true The flames will rise within the dark And I'll follow you (bridge) We'll gather the despairing souls Ignite the hope that once was lost We'll strive to reach our righteous goals No matter what the cost We'll cut the tentacles of the beast We'll tear the web that entangles all See the silver sunlight in the east They will rise, hear freedom's call.
