In the Dark

Harsh cold wind blowing through the mind, the patron within is hard to find. Within that mind 
there is something that shines hidden deep behind two eyes that are blind. 

Looking within there is only one mind feeling; hearing what it finds is highly defined. Used as 
a pawn through the mind of a king smiling; ever knowing never showing that was his thing. 

Feeling strong and bold inside cuts the mold, to have and to hold for reasons forlorn but 
never told. Out of body is this soul, always lonely, never cold bound forever to unfold. 

Among the light that shines for the humble and the many, dark magic provides no promise if 
any. Redemption follows the heart and soul not the body, pray it’s not too late to repent from 
your folly. 

When all alone feeling midnight and blue hands and heart frozen not knowing you were 
chosen. To represent all who stand in the light bring all out of darkness no matter the plight.
