Armor and Sword |
The snakes and arrows a child is heir to |
Are enough to leave a thousand cuts |
We build our defenses, a place of safety |
And leave the darker places unexplored |
Sometimes the fortress is too strong |
Or the love is too weak |
What should have been our armor |
Becomes a sharp and angry sword |
Our better natures seek elevation |
A refuge for the coming night |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
No one |
We hold beliefs as a consolation |
A way to take us out of ourselves |
Meditation or medication |
A comfort or a promised reward |
Sometimes the spirit is too strong |
Or the flesh is too weak |
Sometimes the need is just too great |
For the solace we seek |
The suit of shining armor |
Becomes a keen and bloody sword |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
A refuge for the coming night |
A future of eternal light |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
No one |
Confused alarms of struggle and flight |
Blood is drained of color |
By the flashes of artillery light |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
The battle flags are flown |
At the feet of a god unknown |
No one gets to their heaven, heaven |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
Sometimes the damage is too great |
Or the will is too weak |
What should have been our armor |
Becomes a sharp and burning sword |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
A refuge for the coming night |
A future of eternal light |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
No one |
No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
