darkness
only the horror surrounds me
the horror of the world around me
and i'am that horror

the warrior
spirit never laid to rest
living to pass the ultimate test
to love again

hating your own soul
hating your own reflection
in the world you see around you
and you look away

sweeping dismay wracking your weary being
burried in a dark hole of anguish
walling you in so tight
your light is pressed
into a ball of painful submission

to your own scathing reproach
for who but you
could judge you so well
construct the perfect hell
in which to orchestrate
your own emotional mutilation

separation
for your crimes
never realizing there was never a time
when you were not loved
let go of your pain
rekindle your flame of passion

come passion
to love life again
to be free again
to feel again
that I belong

to the beauty
the cosmic song
surrounds me and I'am the light
that I see remembering to free
an honored aspect of me

the warrior
