Rotten is the apple for it has been exposed to contamination
Dead is the battery for it has been fulfilled with tiring completion
Darkened is the lantern for it has fuel of no more leniency
Broken is the heart for thrashed it has had from harmful potency


Seemed did the loss of hope come into play
A day, each one passing after the other, was always grey
Sights of familiarity soon filled the mind with worry
A deadly task became a plague of notion for hurry
Another life's closure did up I looked desperately for
Shining like the streaming waters off the sun was a dying presence in the core


Then it was, a ray of something anew did it perform the strike
Surprising was the effect did pain not come to be my like
A puddle of ignorance undergoing purification
No longer does the soldier obey the false commission
Ashes in the windless pit awakening the pyro
From the abyss to the surface will the missile launch from the silo
The confinement of solitude broken by the door's opening of freedom
Depression's catatonia healed by the coming of the prophet's random


An expectation that was past desired but now grown with dim
A light of restoration journeyed a descent to the dark heart
The sheep no longer lost by the sound of the shepherd's hymn
Resurrection by peace came the content feeling in playing the part
True did come the forgotten dream of kindled hope
As God's state of grace purged me with the soft interlope


Return was the confidence brought on by such happiness
Bridges of all intersection burned did rebuilt come with goodness
Gone were the demons and rescue came from the angels
Virtuous of all states shall dwell I be within and turn the tables
People of all wise shall up I now be for the listen
For my core of darkness has been rid with the grace of glisten
