There sticks a match within my chest
I believe you have one too
And once life leads us to unrest
We must decipher what with these matches we’ll do

I sought so long to find a cure
for this unjust worlds cold wrath
One day Defeats own bold brochure
lured me down life's darkest path

Lo’ and behold He found me there
in the center of the forest
My God, my savior, trudged through iced air
and breathed hope back into my chest

He said “Dear child i’ve found you here,
orphaned by societies cruel gamble
Alas, your frown shall disappear
just take my love, my peace, come amble”

It landed bold within my heart,
I didn't know what hit me
A flame of passion, an exuberant art
Lit that match and I was set free

My fire from Heaven glowed and thrived
I fed it day and night
Off of healthy morals and faith it survived
I loved Gods people with all His might

But as we know, all habits fade
The best ones lose their aim
Money, success, my employment grade
Drowned my fire into a mere flame

God gave me the tools to build it strong
Once again said “take these blessings”
But the snake in the garden told me “He’s wrong,
His rule is the reason you’re stressing”

It was in that instant that spite cracked down
And darkness came again
A coat of fury stole Gods crown
My fire fell low to the Devils own den

I wish to this day I had not been fooled
For Love had such an amazing plan
He tried to warn me but in my mind I ruled
into the open arms of darkness directly I ran

That's why my friends
I'm telling you this story
The deep fire pits of hell
All began with a match struck of glory

A jihad is raging between the ground and the sky
And i’ll tell you the sun always wins
But if you brand your shield with the serpents cry
You’ll stand forever on scorched feet while the devil grins

There sticks a match within my chest
I believe you have one too
And once life leads us to unrest
We must decipher what with these matches we’ll do
