Empire of Thoughts

by starlust

The Kingdom of Dreams Swords raised in memory Shields brandished with hope Castle made of thoughts We are the soldiers, with our helmets of want Our swords to remember the happy times and the dark Our shields to guide us through the thick confusion Our Kings, their glittering crowns, provide us with happiness With thoughts of a better tomorrow Our Queens, with their lavish dresses To remind us that it will get better But even though our mind landscape gets wetter, We'll remember that bad times never last Pick ourselves up Hoist ourselves on memory, Shield each other with hope Cling to each other, The thoughts come like a sea of cattle The demons may plague our minds with their dangerous weapons But our righteous army, hope, happiness, thoughts, memory Rise up from the ashes we call our spirit "Defeat this enemy," We command with desperation Our army and the enemies clash We clutch our shields Hope, I need hope. The enemy is defeated. We fall into a dream, not awoken for long A new Kingdom is constructed. Built on thoughts, hope, happiness, memory It's our Empire of Thought We shall remember what was fought.
