Theme: Fear

Within the Darkness

The darkness beckons, it calls to you,
With wordless whisper, it summons you.

To dare you to walk on waves of rage,
And to loose yourself in quakes of chaos,
Perhaps the seduction to abuse power,
Or to feast on harvests of blessed men.

The darkness beckons, it calls to you,
But within the whisper, it is lying to you.

Faith and Fear

To fear is not to faith,
Or had we forgotten
how it felt to beget faith?
How it feels to fear not?

O, we all know fear,
do we not, brothers?
He is a friend of souls
and a companion of men.

But he is a snake!
A cunning beast that
in every chance, strikes!
And kills our heart and soul!

But faith is not so,
Faith is a gentle creature.
It's hands we do not see,
but ever ready to help.

Yet we harden ourselves
and reject the healing.
His hands reach in vain
as we fall to fear instead.

How it feels to fear not,
how it felt to beget faith?
Have we forgotten
To faith is not to fear?
