War For The Souls Of Mankind

At last I find within myself, the strength, the waves, the power, the passion,
Where I have a hold, on all the things I need to, and can fill each an every one.
With all my ambition, determination, hit the ground hard, and fly high,
To leave my mark, and reach for the clouds, my dreams.

Speaking as if I was meant to do this, teaching as if it was destiny,
Helping others to find this in themselves, find the strength to keep moving,
It’s like growing into a new shell, or putting on new armor for the first time,
Preparing with purpose, setting goals, and actually making them.

Bathing my sword for battle, except it’s different this time,
We fight a different war, a spiritual one,
To fight for clarity, or be blinded and have no idea what’s going on,
Be clueless to the war that has been going on before time.

No man or woman can fight it alone, or with solitary faith,
There are new forms of communication, new weapons,
Used by both sides, subtle, small and effective,
But this is no normal war, one side attacks, and one side defends.

We face the attacks of a society quickly being corrupted, jaded and led away,
To believe the lie that we are nothing more than complex organisms,
If that was true, where did faith, hope, charity, pure love, wisdom, and creativity come from?
If we we’re nothing more than that, what hope would we have for after this life?

We are bound to time, and time bound to change, as time is, we are tied to change,
Health will fade; creation destroyed, peace plagued by violence, chastity disgraced by immorality,
That is not the fate of this world though, to end in nothing but darkness,
The greatest of light is now present in the greatest of dark, in constant battle with each other.

But the war that has persisted for thousands of years, is growing faster, more violent, and drawing closer to its end,
The war with light and dark, good and evil, God’s army against Satan’s,
Depends on us, we are the reason this war is fought for,
For the salvation, or destruction of the souls of mankind.

And it isn’t a chance, that by one winning we are all saved or lost,
It’s in every… single… person. The choices you make have eternal effects,
As for me, I’ve walked the fence for far too long, and have made my choice,
I have chosen the way of light, the way of purity and purpose, which will you choose?
Which… will you choose?
