Goodbye My World Of War

You stood there looking at me for help
At a time when the world had none for you,
You asked me a question with your eyes
And thought that I was human enough to do
The right and save your world from fading
While you stood there hoping that God was kind,
In my eyes you saw the warmth of the good,
And wished that hope was burning in mind,
The world of hate has taught me well
To neglect truth and kill hope that seeds,
To curb all feelings lest you decide
To break them all for your selfish needs,
They hide at night to prey on hope
And leave the broken like you to die,
While the strong like God has lost the heart
To mend the damage of evil that lie
In the heads of all, ready for war,
With you, with the purest form of you
And kill the warrior that lies within
Ourselves, battling darkness new,

And I abandoned you, I felt no care,
You were left in dark without a light,
And you knew no God and cried inside,
For men like us, lost in the night,
And your eyes had seen betrayal again,
Because once warriors we were strong,
And His forked tongue does speak of hope
Like a life of fight was all but wrong;
You know not of the battle scars,
And what it takes for them to form,
My life was riddled with hurdles anew
And my patience hides a world of storm.
And as I left, the darkness smiled,
Claiming another victim new,
The guilt I felt made the wounds arise,
From the depths of Hell, the broken grew,
And rage filled me with regret
At how I lost my chance to fight
A battle for you in the world of war,
With the undying love of light;

To you I speak, and for you I shall
Change my self once more to fight,
The tired shall harbour hope once more,
I welcome the neglected world of night.
Give me the strength to find your love,
Give me the strength to endure pain,
Set me free from the clouded thoughts
And let me find you once again.
From dust to dust the life revolves,
A fraction of time to spare for none,
The world of war has no survivors,
To them you are many, to me you are one.
