Dreams of the Strong

Dreams of the Strong

By:Cory L.W. Clark

Pain lives with us all

Darkness never ends

Eternal dream of hell

Ending minds

Ending lives

For the weak that is

Life brings out the worst

That this world can bring

Those weakened minds

That can't handle the pressure

That can't figure out the game

They think they can't win

So they give up trying

You only get one chance

And here you are abandoning it?

We see the blood of our kin

Decorating not our floors

But our minds as well

Because they gave up too soon

They're blind to think that life is set on easy

They're idiots to think they won't come across

A few enemies ahead

They're scared of the challenge

They can't stand seeing their world ending

But when you see your own hell

Do you just turn away?

Only to find yourself forced in

Without a hope of escape

Weak-willed fools

Even looking for a shortcut

Is sin enough

Those that have seen their worlds collapse

And stand strong

Laughing at the challenge

That life brings

And even beg for more

They are masters of their fates!

They are the strong

That try every day

To tell the others to keep trying

Instead of keep dying

Hate devours the mind

Corruption eats the soul

Pain changes the heart

But when you push all of it aside

Dead or not inside

When you're taking the hits

And still guiding the others

Back to base

Without a fear of death

Without fear of getting caught further in your hell

Accepting the challenge that is life

You appreciate your last life

Knowing that should you sacrifice your life

It's for the hundreds that you save

The cannon fodder you see today

For the ethereal scythe

Will be the soldiers that fight death

With their strength and their power

Making their victories in honor

Of your fallen self

The strongest tanks

The toughest steel

Isn't made easy

It's made from the iron souls

Forged in the fire of hell

Hotter the fire, better the steel

When it comes out ready for war

It's confident, surviving, and willing

It survived it's trial

Endured life

We did not spend our time in hell

To see our efforts wasted!

We will fight for the ones

That let death take control

They mistake this threat

And let it destroy them

Not realizing their error

Until they look at their mistake

And though the darkness is eternal

We can fight ever harder

To make our fight worth it

Worth every battle with this corruption

Every soldier sees his end

Every tank is destroyed

Sooner or later

But when we fought our hardest

And when we look back finally

To see all that we've done

We walk out of our hells

Holding the hand of death

Knowing our time is up

We accept our fates

Knowing that we took no shortcuts

We never gave up

And we saved the dreams of the hopeless

To make recruits to carry on our legacy

To see honor brought to our graves

We die without regret

Remorse

Or anguish

Knowing that we emerged victorious

Never letting go
