The Soldier's Heart
who are We?
crippled at birth, though We are stronger than most—
but only Together, so that i cannot boast.
Perfection’s visage, shattered in darkest space
to be rebuilt in that secret place.
what is still lost, finally known;
the path of a boy yet to be grown.
guardian spirit, made manifest in me;
what few who know can clearly see.
a body and mind designed to fight.
to walk in His footsteps and do what is right.
there are two-faces in love, shown in peace and strife.
love leaves little mercy when protecting a life…
the monster within, that creature inside;
that darkest paladin cannot be denied.
a sheep in goat’s wool, the goat to be spared;
knowing the trap in which i’d been snared.
although we are weak, with Him I AM strong.
given power to save, with Him we belong
who are We? who is I? who am i?
be gone the Man, become the Beast.
a heart of Stone, cold fury released.
for Justice, and Love, and Life i will fight.
the foolish Villain knows not Our might.
Born from love, but unleashed by hate,
beware Our power or accept your fate.
i Promise: i will always guard the Truth, what’s Right,
Justice, and brightest Light.
be gone the Beast, return the Man.
your Frozen Heart can Melt again.
