During the trials of my past

I have learned a lesson, that shall forever last

I have fought many battles in many a place

I bear the agony of these troubles upon my face

I have received pain in almost every way

I have seen peoples souls stripped away

I have seen evil within a person's eyes

They hide their soul in a maze of lies

The lesson I have I have learned is great indeed

But to learn this lesson I had to see others bleed

It is a lesson you must learn

For if you don't follow it, you will burn

It is a lesson of faith, and of trust

To follow your heart and not your lust

You must trust in him with all your might

For he alone shall carry you through the night
