Dragon Teeth Of Faith

Because they kill our angels before dawn,
the last song in the world fades in the dark,
so we are left with silence in our hands
with nothing to touch but water and wind,
yet we will invent new words to express
cruel crimes we witness with our bleeding eyes.

Though they destroy the things we treasure most
with harsh intention to depress our hearts
and break our minds with sorrow of our loss,
we create new treasures from bleak despair
because we are rich with truth in our hearts
which always flows beyond their grasping hands.

Each time they attempt to erase our names,
and clear our bodies from space of the world,
we bloom again from nothingness of time
and flourish with pleasure from pain of fear,
for we sprout from abundance of the Earth,
too copious for them to ever control.

If they scatter our stories in the wind,
attempting to deny our right to live,
we become fertile seeds in distant lands
where we proliferate from barren faith
so we return to valleys of our dreams
when we invade old homelands of our hearts.

Because angels resurrect before dawn,
the first song in the world glows in the dark,
so we translate grim silence in spry words
that bloom as apples from abandoned trees
through restoration of forgotten truths
as witness to cruel crimes they try to hide.

We hold the fallen angels in our arms,
cradling classified treasures of our hearts,
to chronicle their stories in our books
so we remember every broken soul
in names that vanished centuries ago,
preserved in coded tales of ancient myths.

The more they try to stomp us in the dirt
the more we rise from dragon teeth of faith,
sewn by the hand of Cadmus with respect,
to form brave army of the trodden-down
who cast the tyrant in pit of the past
and build new nation on ruins of fear.

Though they destroy the system we design
with purpose to control our dreaming minds,
we build better system from learned mistakes
based on liberty and justice for all,
for we are angels rising from the Earth
to sing with wisdom that will never die.
