I feel so...

Rush - Armor and Sword

The snakes and arrows a child is heir to

Are enough to leave a thousand cuts

We build our defenses, a place of safety

And leave the darker places unexplored



Sometimes the fortress is too strong

Or the love is too weak

What should have been our armor

Becomes a sharp and angry sword



Our better natures seek elevation

A refuge for the coming night

No one gets to their heaven without a fight



We hold beliefs as a consolation

A way to take us out of ourselves

Meditation or medication

A comfort ,or a promised reward



Sometimes the spirit is too strong

Or the flesh is too weak

[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]



Sometimes the need is just too great

For the solace we seek

The suit of shining armor

Becomes a keen and bloody sword



A refuge for the coming night

A future of eternal light

No one gets to their heaven without a fight



Confused alarms of struggle and flight

Blood is drained of color

By the flashes of artillery light

No one gets to their heaven without a fight

The battle flags are flown

At the feet of a god unknown

No one gets to their heaven without a fight



Sometimes the damage is too great

Or the will is too weak

What should have been our armor

Becomes a sharp and burning sword
