Enter The Sword
So you think you have won
Launch a barrage of vicious lies
to plague a vulnerable heart
and innocent mind
Behold within contaminated rivers
flows pristine waters
Pivot a man's enduring friend
into a newfangled enemy
Amongst storm seeped skies
I captured rays of sunlight
Devour someone's aspirations
diminish their hope
Underneath the rust
glitters untarnished gold
Owning the TRUTH
I perceive these things
Your greatest fear has arrived
Enter the sword
Decimate the body
the spirit remains untainted
Lost in a maze of deception
truth guides me to an exit
In the midst of a gruesome nightmare
I envision a peaceful dream
Armed with my blade
I am prepared to strike
