SOLDIER OF LIGHT

Fashioned in solitude
Carved by the blades of aloneness
Painful, dark inner caves
Few know how to console
It's the journey to honour
Embracing truth
Nowhere to run
It is hard to face yourself
As light penetrates darkened areas of the soul
One must take ownership
The heart must change
Inner integrity comes at a costly price
 
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Character, character, character
The battle first is inside
There you die
Life and death must lose their focus
Self-identity fades
Old personal wants dissipate
Purged is unconstrained passion
The mind must enter rest
Zeal surrenders to wisdom
Revelation wants to come to the wise
Wisdom is the highest treasure
Great and trusted
Wisdom is the sweet kiss of life
It must be in the heart
It is the intelligence the sword must have

Matured innocence is the goal
A state of inner being few understand
The innocence of a child's likeness
Is to be embodied in wisdom
The child and the sage become one
Who can resist a child
Truth delivered without prejudice.

Constant training
Constant testing
Darkness runs from a holy desire
To be an untouchable
The result of the purifying fire
A good conscience
Who can judge an honest man

Being broken and crushed
It makes the wine sweet
Intoxicated with freedom
From perplexing inner strife
Experiencing love in the eternal light
The soul set free
When darkness comes for you
It will not find a kindred spirit inside.
Repelled by the Spirit of Life
It must look for another.

NOW!

DRAW YOUR SWORD
YOU ARE READY
LIGHT HAS WON
WITH YOUR DARKNESS DESTROYED
ENEMIES OF LOVE AND FREEDOM
TREMBLE IN YOUR PRESENCE
CRUSHED BY YOUR WORDS

SELFLESS LOVE
SOLDIER OF GLORY
WARRIORS OF LIGHT
THE KINGDOM HAS COME
THE TRUTH HAS SET YOU FREE!
THE WORLD AWAITS A SOLDIER LIKE YOU
