Dedicated to all those who fight against the darkness, in perpetual pursuit of the eternal light
h1<>{color:#000;}.
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Existence forms the
Darkness that we all hide from
Though light shall prevail
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Redeem me from all
Voices that I can never
Put in quarantine
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Deliver me from
My own design and torn form
Send me to the stars
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Cast me asunder
To the heavens far up high
Save me, will you not?
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Blackness may consume
Yet perseverance conquers
All limitations
h1<>{color:#000;}.
History will tell
The tale of those who arose
Against the evil
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Spread love and delight
To those who always cared to
Give to the needy
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Reach for the stars while
Keeping your feet firmly on
The solid hard ground
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Feel the aura of
Surroundings which embrace your
Lit and wondrous form
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Take in the formless
Energies existing in
The breeze around you
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Rise against evil
Though you lose all that
You ever once had
h1<>{color:#000;}.
March to salvation
Ignoring all the darkness
Seek to save yourself
h1<>{color:#000;}.
The wells of knowledge
The libraries of vast Earth
Are all in your hands
h1<>{color:#000;}.
The birds always sing
Humans perpetually
Mope in mere darkness
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Existence is naught
But suffering, yet will you
Rise against the grain?
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Within there is grief
Yet a smile outside exists
All of us wear masks
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Fury to be cast
Upon the evil on top
Will you not join us?
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Boiling inside of
Us all is anger and a
Thirst to reign all things
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Seek out the vibrant
Light that saves all the patient
From the doom of man
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Venture towards the
Farthest seas where you will find
The secrets to all
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Persevere against
The forces of evil though
You lose all you have
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Look within for the
Answers and the shining truth
Refuse disbelief
h1<>{color:#000;}.
The cycle of all
Suffering can be broken
If we search within
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Run towards the far
Horizons for the truth, though
It’s inside your gut
h1<>{color:#000;}.
The doves cry of a
Day when doom will consume all
Those who don’t fight now
h1<>{color:#000;}.
After every night
A new day will shine upon
Your form, don’t give up
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Stand in awe and don’t
Bow to darkness even though
All demons attack
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Rise against those who
Steal your joy and very hope
The promise: New dawn
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Voice your opinion
Though you lay down an endless
Well where you can’t see
h1<>{color:#000;}.
Storm the gates of Hell
If it is Heaven you want
To give in, nay, nay!
