Darkness Vs. Light



Life begins
 Bliss accepted
 Ignorance intended

 Truth destroyed
 Loves illusion
 Shadowing fate

 For all who wonder
 can love rebound?
 Or shatter with truth?

 Questions unanswered
 Answers forgotten
 Lost in time

 Shackles produced
 born of ignorance
 Locked by hate

 Hope holds the key
 But alas hope is hard to find

 Demons Raise
 Shadows born
 Hope destroyed
 With shadowy force

 Darkness destroys
 Light creates

 Forever bound
 Light and Hope

 Forever bound
 Darkness and hate

 Together powerful
 Separate weak

 But which will gather?
 Which will win?

 Hope prevails
 Light its shield
 Love its sword

 Darkness destroyed
 Hate omitted

 The key found
 Shackles released
 Demons destroyed
 Forever at peace

 Love is found
 In the heart
 Of another

 Forever bound
 Not of shackles
 But of love

 Truth released
 From endless slumber

 Shadows evicted
 To desolate lands

 Freedom found
 In the heartland
 Of another
