Do you mean Heaven?
"Resist"
This place is so serene
I reside in comfort
It's hard to believe this is real
or maybe it's not
it's not too cold
nor is it too hot.
But things are not right here,
I can feel my heart fill with fear
I'm not alone,
But I fear that will end soon.
My soul is proud
My soul is strong
My soul will stand
Through the light
I hope hell is blinded.
There are rumors
Rumors of a war about to wage
Upon my haven
upon my resting place
I spoke too soon....
Demons erupt, emerging from all angles
Pillage, rape, crating havoc
Setting fire to children
Murdering those who try to resist
I stand among them, those who resist
My haven starts to recede
Hell begins to form
yet I will not heed
I will not stand for this
I cry in battle to protect what is mine
Letting my essence overcome me
Creating light around me,
illuminating my aura.
My scarlet beams of divine
clash with those of crimson evil
I stand alone now
just as I thought
Alas...A dark essence overpowers my scarlet crusade
my haven has turned to hell
This place is so serene
I reside in comfort
It's hard to believe this is real
or maybe it's not
it's not too cold
nor is it too hot.
But things are not right here,
I can feel my heart fill with fear
I'm not alone,
But I fear that will end soon.
My soul is proud
My soul is strong
My soul will stand
Through the light
I hope hell is blinded.

I stand among them, those who resist
My haven starts to recede

I will not stand for this

Letting my essence overcome me
Creating light around me,
illuminating my aura.

I stand alone now
just as I thought
Alas...A dark essence overpowers my scarlet crusade
my haven has turned to hell
My pic isn't sideways on my laptop, when I put it as my pro pic it turned sideways. Yes I meant haven, not heaven, but I do not see a reason you need to be calling anyone anything like that. I can see why he would think I meant heaven, they are close, but not the same.
Side Effect
Fairy tales say magic always comes at a price
When I think of our love I know they are right
Finding true love is only half the struggle
The real fight is keeping it from ending in rubble
Such a divine fantasy is happily ever after
Nature demands balance, tears for your laughter
Love can feel like a side effect of humanity
When it collides with hate we are left with insanity
The love is real and deep, as loud as we yell
It's like heaven picked up and moved in with hell
Although we know we could never walk away
Constantly we wonder how we can stay
The nature of love includes destruction
Glory entwined with volcanic eruption
Still it calls to us and we hunt it down
If nothing was lost, nothing can be found
No Safe Haven
There is no safe haven
When hell is just a hop skip
And a jump away
But I'll sit here anyway
smug and cool as a
Cucumber
With my air conditioner
turned up as high
As it will go ...so I don't
Feel the heat
All I need now is a brand
New sound system
To drown out the sounds
Of the insesient screaming
There is no safe haven
When hell is just a hop skip
And a jump away
But I'll sit here anyway
smug and cool as a
Cucumber
With my air conditioner
turned up as high
As it will go ...so I don't
Feel the heat
All I need now is a brand
New sound system
To drown out the sounds
Of the insesient screaming
Safe Haven~
A cabin in the woods.
Far from the old neighborhoods.
I lay on a bed, bored out of my tears.
I dream of the day I get out of here.
Have you any clue how it feels?
Spending each day not knowing what's real.
I read the same books again and again.
But no matter how I try, I can't win.
I'll never be free to roam the streets.
Free to say hello to everyone I meet.
No, I'll just lie here instead.
Lay for an eternity in my bed.
Staring at the drawings all around the wall.
The picture of a great stars fall.
As it slowly dips below the horizon.
Once again, the sky darkens.
Watching the subset again and again.
Held prisoner in my "Safe Haven."
