The Brave One

He's got a voice that blows out a wall 
For that, he's always a subject of coercion 
His fame rings through the giants' hall 
They pester him with grave attention 

A thousand blades were put on his name 
Of people paid to press him by all ways 
But the beat of his heart remains the same 
For, there's truth in things that he says 

Dark voices ring through everywhere 
In the dark, they lurk to cast shadow 
His scent attracts the bees anywhere 
But none could beat the gleam of his glow 

He's the brave one, he's a one man soldier 
He bravely fights the weight of oppressive sky 
He braves the forces of armies by his shoulder 
Through the years, his flame will never die 

The brave does not fear even death
He will fight even his limbs were gravely torn 
For blades may rip the source of his breath 
But millions like him will soon be born
