THE SOUL REVOLUTION

Nomar Knight is light

         

Verbum Dragon is darkness

Carving a Soul

                                         

Never underestimate the power of good.
Flood evil with kindness
And sing soothing hymns.
Douse their sordid pleas with brightness.
Disarm the decaying spirit.

Deliverance of a Carved Soul

So,
Count if you can the countless bones,
By sheer power of your piercing lights,
Lie forever buried in vast desert sands.
Entombed in the inferno of brutal rays,
They plea for darkness to sweep their
Graves with the coldness of its caress.

Darkness strikes with blind fury.
Return fire with a smoldering smile.
The Master's words sharpened the path
To enlightenment and carved truth,
Enriching even the darkest souls.

Gather if you must the ashes of flesh
That once nurtured this span of lands
Until unbending vectors of light defied
The Master's wish to green the earth.
It is your sun that sparked that blaze
Scorching the paths men must tread.

Flash the beam of love.
Spread joy to the masses
And rebel against fear
For daylight extinguishes the
Uncertainty that lies in the shadows.

Yet,
Here in the darkness of my embrace
I still their wails; make wines of bitter
Tears in this cold, dark, sunless cell
Where shadows sow no pain nor fear,
Where darkness dispenses the balm
That soothes the pangs in your heart.

Oh, rejoice in the power of prayer.
Eliminate the wretched evil that looms
Cast out the demons with the sacred
Blood, emboldening the timid
Winged creatures praising His name.

In the waters of darkness will I wash
Your tunics of sorrow and cover your
Soul from the glare and suspicion of
Light; and my arms shall cradle you
Through the night where our prayers
Are joyful, exalting psalms of praise.

For the Son of Man sacrificed all
To have the chosen; witness
Miracles, grace, and glory.
At last, hope springs eternal
Forever bounding darkness with light.

For
The Son of Man, He has purified our
Dreams by the total absence of light.
In the realm of darkness, we all shall
Bask in never ending bliss and grace,

Rejoicing and singing:
All Glory to His Name!
