Hope Town

[July 2005] 
 

1. 

 Far above the coast of the Atlantic,

Lies yonder, settlement of the gloom;

Clouds of grey over their visions blurred,

Agony rains in the heart of the whole.

Rites of gods who are demonic,

Worshipped by them, to certain doom;

Harvest of sorrow, all is heard,

Fields of tears, reaped by all.

By their souls, they vowed to live,

Be turmoil's and death's hand;

For all their follies, they learnt to give,

To guard their home and be they stand.

2. 

Aftermath of unspoken dying war,

Lies in ruins the hope of the dead;

Fog or foe, none can decimate,

Abyss of corpses forever unforgotten.

Dreams in mime tastes the sour,

Pools of wails' all they had;

Flags of bitter defeat be eradicated,

In thoughts of multitudes that which forsaken.

The subjects of idols that can never,

Be again, centre of prosperity;

For lies the truth that hadn't quaver,

Fraction of a moment till eternity.

3.

Be you strong and not to mourn,

Rise thy feet to face the hand;

Spoken with by elder of Hope,

Truth of Love, Sabre of victory.

Dark of night and night is gone,

Mails of fire for they to band;

'gainst immortals that which grope,

To sight of light shed doth unity.

Live they must for Kingdom come,

Fear of death perceived with admire;

For in battle, it is done,

Fight they will with Blood and Fire.
