My heart has stopped
And I do not know why
I have drawn this ink from below
So that my thoughts might defeat themselves
I have seen the good in everything
The glow on the faces around me
And yet for some unknown cause
I am lonely and my soul has withdrawn.
It does this often:
My soul to my heart
My mind rings the gong to
Begin the battle within
And itself becomes that which
Feeds the fury forever.
Where can I lay my lot?
And where can I light my lamp?
I am in darkness with no place to settle.
Find me! Please!
Oh someone find me
And instill peace within my bosom!
I am lost
I know the path, for it I travel,
But my destination never shows her face.
Die you fiery fury within!
I seek to live again!
You shall forfeit, I shall win.
Cease you spirit of evil!
My righteousness shall stomp you out.
Melt you freezing ice of torture!
My will shall warm my soul.
I shall win, you shall lose
For now, my path has become more clear.
My destination has shown herself
But she yet isn't coming closer.
This is enough for me
My heart shall survive with hope of reaching her
My soul can now desire to touch her beauty
My destination has shown herself
And thus, I have won!
