My War
I stand upon the hill
 And gaze upon the world
 Wrapped in memory I can’t kill
 Watching the wind’s wings unfurled
 
 Alone I exist, on the vast immortal plane
 In stillness I find peace
 As the world tears itself apart, bolting the lion’s mane
 Realizing tomorrow is forever, and today was just a lease
 
 Content is my heart,
 As I pick up my blade
 To wield against the storm
 To unveil its deadly art
 
 For I know now where I stand
 To make my final challenge
 Upon the rock and not the sand
 That fooled my heart, whom now I will avenge
 
 Love is never as it seems
 A ghost in the night,
 Or the solid embrace by day
 But I have felt it in my dreams
 
 I have seen it in your eyes
 I have felt it in their arms
 I know it is not lies
 That set my spirit to rest, quieting all alarms
 
 Must I wait till Heaven’s days
 To feel secure in warm embrace
 Left now to battle through life’s maze
 Chasing, ever seeking, love’s fair face?
 
 So I pick up my sword
 To face boldly the world so dim
 That crashes vainly against its lord
 As waves upon the shore, pleasing only him
 
 Mine Enemies I now see
 And mine allies now are clear
 And I will set this foe to flee
 And taste of love, oh so dear
 
 Alone I am Alexander the Great
 With no one I am strong
 Friendless I can duel with fate
 With you…I am a child, and you’re my brother that carries me along
