War of Balance
See him standing is his regal lightShowing reasons to reflect on life
Speaking words of justice, so wise
Forbidding sins; murder, lust and lies
See him guard with that frightful care
A stiff, warning presence is in the air
Be wary as you pass this place of law
Do not take lightly, his quiet calls
When Night falls and he turns and leaves
Another arises so that he may retrieve
Such beauty that only the night can show
A wild beauty that only he shall know
Bearing a sword of the blackest tone
So surreal is he that walks here alone
Relieving lovers’ tears for some time
‘Til the dawn arrives again to refine
Anger swells within his darkened mind
Determination is how the light is defined
Law and Chaos strives for their control
The battle has once again taken its toll
Standing tall and facing the other one
As the moon rises slowly to meet the sun
They slowly cross the open plain
To meet each other in battle once again
In unison they raise their swords high
Their swords clash like a thunderous sky
And as their battle once more begins
The world in violence as though the end
The angels fight on, equally balanced
Frightful determination for the chance
To stop this endless war once and for all
But for this to be, the other must fall
But soon they tire, and can battle no more
For both had taken wounds of noble score
Their swords lower, both and neither in defeat
And bow their heads to the other’s great feat
Though both knew that neither would ever win
They still try, rest to recover to start again
Taking their leave; they turn from each other
As does the sun and moon depart together
See him standing is his regal light
Showing reasons to reflect on life
Speaking words of justice, so wise
Forbidding sins; murder, lust and lies
When Night fall and he turns to leave
Another arises so that he may retrieve
Such beauty that only the night can show
A wild beauty that only he shall know
