Tears fall, my heart ablaze,
The war rages on, day after day.
As humanity turns on itself,
The light is fading in our souls

The devil laughs, his grip grows tight,
Rejoicing in mankind’s fall.
Compassion dim and frail,
Where kindness seems to fail.

How has man allowed darkness to reign?
Why do we heed its call?
Each choice, each right, an excuse to be cruel,
Hearts are growing cold, forsaking the rule.

I weep, my heart cries out in pain,
For mankind to let the light shine in,
To open doors for heaven’s reign,
And let true peace begin.

Stop the darkness in your heart,
Be still and end the killings,
Let love and mercy lead the way,
And step into the light.
