Battle (2)

Armor half-on

Sword on the floor

Demon knocks

And walks straight in through the door



Taking control

Blinding the man

Pain forced him to see

He lost before the battle began



Armor donned,

Sword is drawn

No time to think

The man relies on his brawn



One man alone

Broken, bruised and sore

Against an army

Of which there's always more



"Give in to the darkness

There's no hope"

The man is clinging

But he's out of rope



The sun falls

Fighting through night

The hours pass

With no hope in sight



Lose once more

Retreat, try again

He loses more ground

Than he could ever hope to gain



Armor is rusted

Sword is broken

Despite his might

"The battle is lost" out loud is spoken



All at once

The dawn brings new light

A grand white horse

On it sits a shining Knight



The man cries

He knows this knight

His was the side

For which the man meant to fight



"I failed you"

Hiding his face

He speaks the words

Full of contempt and disgrace



The Knight looks down

"For you I died

Through Me you are strong

With no reason your face to hide



"New armor I give you

Now sharpen your sword

All I want is for you to stand

Once again and face the horde



"You failed Me, yes

Now you've lost your pride

So try again

This time with Me by your side"



The man smiles

He knows this Man

For He won

Before man's battle even began



The horde cringes

"New armor he wears"

Attack with strength

They want this man for theirs

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"You see it was one man against the night,
Taking on a multitude that had left him high and dry
No candle-burning vigil could light the way
Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite
He wrestled until morning with human souls
And dark angels
And there he finished his work . . .
On the third day"
-Kevin Max Smith (DC Talk)
