Scattered Clouds

Who can hold up Heaven with a spear stained in blood?! The youth of yesterday lay deep in cold earth scarred hearts beat lonely for love torn away The wind blows scatter clouds so the sun shines again tears glisten will love ever return Turmoil and destruction stirring fear blood flows like rivers innocence disappears Death eludes evil while masses die for change Marching as if thunder armor outshines the sun Battle for battle armies make the earth shake Lands without borders only frontiers Holding up my spear can Heaven ever be whole Crystal clear missiles split the night sky the sword is clasped in dead hands fire consumes the rage Yearning for life evaporates in black smoke the kings still rule, their lives untouched Sacrifice the youth bleed till they die while the old call for greater sacrifice Justice is blind but evil sees peace is but a luxury A glimpse of hope smolders in the arms of love new life sprouts green from pools of blood I spike my spear into the ground coolness of breeze dries my sweat Exhausted with numbness I fall to the ground my fingers cling to my spear I bow to Heaven as it is written in that wind scattered clouds
