Toy Soldier

Marching forward to a place of epic proportion
Vision of a childhood fantasy comes to life
As I wage a war againts unknown opposition
I grow and change my identity time after time
Yet it does not really matter to me
For where I stand is where the battle will be

I raise my hand high up in the air and
flash a beam of light from my sword of might
An army of action figures surround me
Listening to my every command
Waiting for the time of retalliation

They gaze at me in the stillness of silence
knowing they are lambs to the slaughter
but their trust remains strong and faithful
their spirits simply unbreakable
for I am the leader of the pack
I hold the reponsibility of each soldier
and I will not let them down
for my word is true

Surely these are my men, the elite
the strong, the brave.

By my side, my lego boosts my ego
I build contraptions limited only by my resources
and what my imagination can fully concieve
Laws of nature and powerful authorities mean little
if not almost nothing to me
nothing more than flukes in my grand scheme
the universal order in chaos
I create and design machines that comes to life
under my freq control with the sound of my voice
Striking fear to those who stand in my way

Within me, I hold the power to unlock
the mysteries of the universe
I think therefore I am
I am the greatest scientist of this universe
the universe found only in my dreams

And if anyone dares challenge me
I will be ready
the question is will they be ready for me?
Victory will be mine
as it is written in the book of destiny

Should I fall in the battlefield
I find relief fighting - the good fight
with all I could give and all my strength
For it certainly will not be my end
A time will come when I shall return,
as a phoenix would graciously rise
above the ashes of its fiery flames
so should I rise above the spirit of my game
I fight with the instinct of desire
a soldier with a heart of childhood fire. <3
