Dark Battle Lines

The rain comes again today

Washing the world to shades of gray

Day after day, no change in sight

Forever mundane, no battles to fight

Fooled into thinking our lives are grand

Living in sync to the world's demands

Dying slowing in the guise of life

Killing ourselves with slavery's knife

If clarity come will we know what it means

Or will it be twisted by digital fiends

Missing the truth in honey sweet lies

Gasping for air as reality dies

The world around, rife with delusions

Hope decaying in lustful illusions

I must cut away my blinded eyes

To see our fast approaching demise

Though the war is won we still must fight

Or simply stop and welcome the night

The call has come, the road has split

Choose to battle or to evil submit

Father, Father

Father, Father, take my hand

Lead me out of this dying land

A beautiful gift that you gave

Now nothing more than an open grave

Father, Father, guide my path

So I escape your holy wrath

Corrupted by my favorite sin

Cleaned by strips on your skin

Father, Father, give me rest

On all sides I am pressed

I feel run ragged to the bone

When You are life, alone

Father, Father, give me sight

To see the broken in the night

Those so consumed with fear and pain

Under the enemies deadly reign

Father, Father, send me out

Showing truth to those who doubt

Not my strength or my will done

But the Power of the Firstborn Son

Your Love Will Last

(A rework of a poem I wrote before, this one is more accurate)

After the light falls from the sky

And the world's truth is revealed as a lie

While the mannequins walk away

And all our sins are plain as day

Your love will last until I die

After all regard for life is lost

And the souls of the masses are covered in frost

While my vision blurs in terror's haze

And my dreams are cast in a funeral blaze

Your love will last at any cost

When being true is a deadly crime

And the call of sweet darkness is sublime

While my safety means a slow decay

And smog chokes out the sun's last ray

Your love will last in shadow's time

Until all memory of peace has faded

And hearts of the leaders are fully jaded

While breaking ourselves to prove we're the same

And donning lies at the cost of our name

Your love will last unaided

Until nothing of happiness remains

And even the resistance is slapped in chains

While facing the fire and deaths embrace

With you next to me I can finish the race

Your love will last through all my pains
