Walking down a lonely road
a weary young soldier went.
His head bent low, his expression grim,
his chivalrous spirit spent.

Gone were the days of playful laughter,
days of youthful vigor forgotten.
Gone was the dream of life ever after,
a fruit that had been so sweet, now rotten.

His gallant white steed now dirty and weak,
sorrow clung to him like grime and sweat.
Posture slumped and emotions bleak,
down that lonely road he went.

Wanting the light to set him free,
he limped to the church below.
His soul in pain, in agony,
his search for solace amongst the sorrow.

There is a war going on,
Raging from within.
The Spirit against the Carnal flesh,
The question is who'll win?

There is a war going on,
Confusion starts to show.
It hovers, grinning wickedly,
Slowly, everday it grows.

There is a war going on,
Frustration shows its face.
It attacks from every angle,
Starting at your weakest place.

There is a war going on,
Fear moves in to kill.
Its battle cry fills the air,
Its mocking voice, loud and shrill.

There is a war going on,
A light in the dark grows bright.
It kills confusion with its sword,
Slashing it through left to right.

There is a war going on,
The light shines its beams.
Blinding frustration without mercy,
Ignoring its agonizing screams.

There is a war going on,
One more left to go.
Fear is quickly demolished,
The light letting out a battle cry of its own.

There is a war going on,
The light is all around.
Its sword is lifted to the heavens,
Its knees bent to the ground.

It took a while to figure out.
Now I'm sure I know.
That the light that had won the battle,
Was sure enough...my soul.
