LINE INSPIRATION

Celestial potions brewed in sinister stars
Like life lessons learned in deep and dark scars 

They that cut us deep make us brave 
They take away our fears of grave 
Our best friends may lie deep in our biggest foes 
Though, at first, make us tremble from head to toes 

No great warrior was not scathed in a bloody war 
Through wound that our greatness echoes afar
And if great stars before us will fall 
To try to kill the courage in our call 
The celestial potion will brew in our heart 
The flame of hope we carried from the start 

For, wounds from sharp blades may run deep 
But the sharp pain keeps us from deep sleep
