The Ageless Battle
Two silhouettes stand on the edge of the earth
One shining it orderly glory for it to be forth
The other is outlined, but black as the night
They dance on the edge of their endless fight
Armor of the night sky, flesh of the dark
Look within his eyes; see the abyss’ heart
He grips his star-lit sword with strength abound
Darkness becomes him, where only night is found
He battles with the Angel, his armor shining sun
His eyes shine blindingly with truth that cannot be undone
His sword of law reigns into the minds of men
Government and order to the lands under his command
Gleefully they battle on, with no signs of an end
Their tired, weary minds calling, begging to transcend
Determination for victory continues as they lose their reason
For they have battled endlessly since time had begun
The ageless quarrel between the Dark and the Light
Reason against Instinct, Law and Chaos, Day against Night
Before the cause of Religion, before differences of morals
There was Dark and there was Light, before good and evil
In the Night there are pleasures, chaos and quarrels
Temptation is a given, allow your freedom to control
In the Light there is order and law and principles
Peace is abound, temptation is naught but for fools
But then sometimes, in the dusk or dawn, there is a moment
It is easily seen the weariness in their movements
They forget their quarrels and long for peace between them
But though they long, they cannot stop, there must be balance within
As one does weaken, the sun does rise and the Night is pushed back
For hours, for days, this goes on until the Dark strengthens his attack
Wounded and weary, determined and purposeful; the battle rages on
And so it shall go, forevermore, until Life is completely gone
