Analysis of The Revelation

Fearful expression like a mirror
In the face of one you adore
Reveals a surfaced fiend
Manifested deep within
Your own misguided spirit

Where did you pick up this hitch hiker
Which forbidden road did you roam
Where troubled beings dwell
Scouting for open doorways
Unwelcome they shuffle in

If you are not like all the others
Are you still only like yourself
Or are you pretending
To be afire with much more
Than the fuel you keep allows

How sharp a sword would you acquire
To sever your core from the dark
That's blinded you for days
And hidden from you your blessings
That God has laid before you

Would it take a less tainted spirit
To intervene uninvited
And reveal to you faith
As great as a mountain
Which you have failed to notice

One you, as someone else's hero, have already conquered
