One Anthem

Submitted by Theseus on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 20:20

The pen is greater than the sword, and once again I'm born,
I'm an eagle, just getting away from the storm...

And I can rise above it all, it's not critical,
that you keep your wars to a minimal...

The blaze that burns for us is unending,
and covers us all, better stop pretending...

That we're living in a dark life, a dark night,
there's a race to be won, battles we gotta fight...

It's an uphill road, and it's getting pretty steep,
but I know, when the waters of the rivers getting deep...

That there's just one anthem that's left to sing,
In the halls of the court, in the court of the King...

Love the rhythm and love the deep meaning! I really enjoyed this. It was very nice and easy to read but the meaning of it struck hard. Good Job!

Welcome!

This is fantastic! I love the deep meaning as well; very nicely rhymed. :)
And welcome to AP!! I myself have only been on here a couple of months; and I love it and hope you do to. :D

Brilliant.
