Unbreakable



Twin brothers,
Towers of strength,
Symbols of power and unity

Towering above all others For all to see

Never wavering, Never bending, Never breaking

Unbreakable

And then he falls,
His brother is by his side as he has always been
 
Masses huddle beneath,
Some running in horror,
Some are unable to Move
Unable to lend a hand,
Unable to save themselves

Screaming in pain As the blades of fire are now turned upon the
Brother
Striking with deadly accuracy a fatal blow
Burning into his side
Crumbling him beside his brother in a heap of lost hopes
 
And Lost dreams
 Certain death is but a moment away

Won't anyone help them?
Can anyone hear the cries of pain misery?

All hope is lost for this day,
the night brings the bitter taste of Death
and the loud sound Of silence
But now a new day dawns upon the horizon,
And a dim light begins to shine

Brighter and brighter,
Stronger and stronger,
Showing the way For a land Once Blinded,
Bringing those who were once divided together As one,
A new tower,
A new light,
A new  beacon for all,

A new symbol of power
Never wavering,
Never bending,
Never breaking

Unbreakable
