Resurrect

by Trisha Hanudel - Gemini

The dawn's mist rises forth
The creatures awaken
A restful night has run its course

No more smoke and no more fires
Grey ruins settle in the dirt
Along with our desires

Dragging forward we try to find a light
Running off well-travelled paths
Only to put up the same fight

Looking back to glimpse tear-stained faces
From times we don't recall
And the blood from forbidden places

The paradise we dreamed of is lost
Promises were broken
And ambitions tossed

From the chains of the old land
We can't break free
To start a new band

Like giants falling down to earth
We've shattered our world
As there's no hope for rebirth

Even though we failed our test
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
For we shall never rest

Reason for writing:

    the wings of the Angel are wide and strong. you shall always rise.
