In this world where darkness reigns over all our lives -
Where my desire for vengeance nearly overtakes me
The lies poisoning our hearts and veins, bones and marrow
Hope seems a dream, and love is a curse now aborted
Yet we would die just for something real
Our facade burns and crumbles away
We cannot live without someone else who shares our pain and bears our sorrows
This is a battle for your souls, to fight is not a choice
The arrows of the enemy pierce to freeze your heart;
And to numb you with pain of loss - rendering you helpless
Will your response be bent toward hate, helping the plague to spread?
Numb with pain - still enduring
What will your decision be, when the time comes to draw the lines
Will you love, and have mercy, in spite of your doom?
Compassion is my only dissent
I am resolved only to this
