Mankind

We all battle the demons of our past.

The man whom dwells within

 watches as his soul decays

    for loneliness has taken its toll

      since love floated away

 

These emerald eyes grow as the desert

  for tears have built walls

    my arrogant heart listened to his stupidity

      ignoring his Father's calls

 

Once a loyal soldier

  I fought this battle with courage and power

    now I fall upon my knees

      a man reduced to a mere coward

 

Isolation corrupted my judgment

  hatred and deceit ruled my mind

    this soul declares war

      while I seek a love which forever binds

 

Love battles chaos

  the faithful battle rages

    however I do wonder

      God shall you spare these beast while they roam within fleshy cages
