Sword of Light:

Movements, within the stillness, I seek inside of me. Upon the lily of darkness, below this silver tree. I sit often with my careless gaze, while images enter and visions I see. Each one reflecting back into me, These haunting dreams, did I once live in the web they weave? On battlefields, does love abandon thee? Our worthy cause, without glory are all of these. For each act, recalls another, a sword raised, its call to raise another. Blade against blade, Brother against Brother. The war rages on, weak against the strong. Bring forth the sword of destiny, the sword of light and righteousness.
