Every Last Breath

An increment of life that strays far from the heart
Beneath all the pain and sorrow buried inside
A glimmer of light shines vivid and true
Consisting of a hope on the verge of demise  

The will to live on is strong and sincere
The heavens bellow a prophecy of decree
“Lay down thy sword and look at yourself,
Only then can you faithfully become pure underneath”

Righteous and just, wholesome and constant
All holy words in the stride of this ascent
However the case, this lone journey is distant
No matter the challenge, no matter the test
Believe in yourself with every last breath
