I saw hope dance through lightening
An eerie glow swallows up the sun as our men lie wounded,
Brass against iron, loud clanks of armor, and the glorious hymn of victory,
Today we are knights, and our bodies float above the crushing tides of lamentation,
So don’t you look down at me, and remember my name every time you glare,
Because we are knights, and our blood carries honor across the grieving lands.
Thick fog surrounds the grasslands and a loud piercing bell echoes across the sky,
Strong rains patter across Geneva in fury, and the sky has blackened...
I feel a divine presence in the air tonight, because God lit up the sky with lightning,
And He had cast down a legion of rain which sounded to the rhythm of death,
The storm was not a threat, and I did not hide from it,
Because it felt good to encounter a storm that bitter evening, you hear that?
It felt good to see the clouds break and shatter in the form of rain,
It felt good to hear nature scream in the form of violent thunder,
And it felt good to see and know that the grasslands were breaking down with me,
To feel my pain being shared across the plains, to feel understood among the mountains.
Amidst the chaos a light was casted down from me,
A magnificent beam,
And a voice came roaring through the sky,
In His words I had found consolation,
For He told me,
“Do not seek vengeance, my son, do not act on hatred,
For everything will be put in its place,
Yes, I will bring you justice”.
The pounding of my heart softened, it was all clear in that moment,
For He had filled my trembling body with benevolence and a burning sense of hope,
Today I am a knight, but I shall not fight against my fellow men,
Today my blade will pierce through the chest of the damning beast named sorrow,
And I saw hope in the form of lightning, yes, I saw hope dance through the sky,
And it glimmered splendidly,
What form, what grace, and how magnificent its beauty...
Yes, I saw lightning glimmer with hope while the rest remained hidden,
For they saw death while my dreaming eyes remained fixated towards the beauty of its rays.
