The fight for Light


            A light in the dark

            Always wanted, always sought

            In a broken world, that worships sharks

            Never fear! For the light will be brought!

           

            Surrender? Never! My brothers and sisters

            For the light does shine on those who fought

            The innocents are broken, battered, covered with blisters

            Never fear! For the light will be brought!

 

            The shark moves forward, in fear of death

            Regardless, of the path it rends

            Will you fight? Till your very last breath?

            Our bodies may break, but our souls can not bend!

 

            Strength is eternal, always there to beat the cretin

            Justice is truth, and it can not be beaten

            Fear can be beaten, embrace it as truth

            For this world is not yours, but belongs to the youth

 

            A firefly in the night, always seems so bright

            Until the sun rises, to bring the light
