The Wall

Defending the chosen,
Leading the blind,
Along a narrow street.

Straight and true,
With walls that won't let you stray.
Straight and true,
With walls that keep the damned at bay.

Stubborn stone built to defend against the vanguard of darkness without.
An eternal battle of the mind within.
A constant barrage of doubt.

The cracks are swiftly mended.
Behind our bricks we are defended.

Safe, secure, and saved

Demons climb the wall.
Many slip and many fall.
Higher and higher they dare,
Yet the structure towers, and scrapes the air.

Serving its noble cause, 
Brick and mortar touch the sky.
The impregnable fortress stands, 
A guardian of the sacred.

But the travellers can not see the road, 
For the walls block out the light.
They walk in the shadows and slowly 
They begin to lose their sight.

The wall is embraced for guidance.
The wall will lead them home. 
Outside the wall, the sun shines bright.
In its shadow, the shining fear an endless night.

Safe, secure... enslaved
