Pens & Swords

Words, they say, aren’t sharp as swords

They cannot pierce, or strike the chords

Tonight, I pray, these words I’ve brought

Will do such things that swords cannot

Fights are fought for faith, and pride

When we should stop instead, confide

Admit that when all’s said and done

What’s known of life, amounts to none

We all are lost, each one of us

Not one of us knows who to trust

Do not believe the ones who do

The ones who say their words are true

Falsities have guided us

Into halls of hate, and lust

Idols aren’t only unjust

Our issues lie within, in us

Save your soul, save it tonight

Save the things for which we fight

Love, and life, this is our all

The things for which we rise, and fall
