The Battle Thickens

Now the battle thickens and the losing side is strong

Using the very arguments that carried our lives along

But twisting, bending truth so as to prove the faithful wrong

Is there still more of darkness come, the light for which we long

Not visible but present in these hearts that truly pray

For beauty and the destiny promised earth one day.

We shall not bend to tyranny or lose the sunlit way

Our enemies though powerful the spirit cannot slay.
