The Torch

Inside I am burning flame to life, 
the goal to ever existing being 
Aspirate aspiration of a functional organism, 
animal we are instinctively portrayed 
Torch inside, survival urge beating heart 
forever pounding life's perseverance 
Night are day endless sleep yawn success, 
among steps of Victoria achievement 

What is a man his sight without light, 
oxygen it takes burn that 
it could not without 
We come a human soul in mist of wasteland, 
beauty persist we rip apart it's soul 
Oui Oui, desecrate lady upon once was 
united nation a war zone to 
billionaires, cartels and themselves selfishness 
Unity, freedom, love, words of vocabulary peace 
minds corrupt pure hearts 
But depths darkness not darken the gorge 

But the end our thrive be with thirst,
where water; upon wasteland poison 
destruction lay scene 
Human existence I have not seen days, 
belly rumble thin flesh left cover 
Bones weaken strength a stick holds up, 
giving hope mankind has a dream 
The torch, triumph reason and knowledge 
over oppression 
A beacon, prosperity unto God himself 
be claim for love, honor 
and glory my flag I salute
