Page 5. Pride Without Honour

 
With boastful call of hidden lies
to claim the centre of thy eye
to show the world of their great
believing they rule over fate

With sharpened tongue and wetted blade
lay slain to so called renegade
to be everything they are not
to stand in glory where time forgot

Don’t mistake this for valour, this be pride
only embellishment and glory be its guide
for the one who wears the most medals upon his chest
be the one who boasted best

Pride only lives if we let it breath
But hides temptation up its sleeve
Those who live there lives in truth
be hailed with lies uncouth

Those who will not yield to glory
who’s lives are left an untold story
Tomorrows history does forget
how honour dies without regret

The ones who fought for right
unshackled from the chains of spite
fight for freedom fight for love
be your only master God above

Don’t trace the trails of shooting stars
be at peace with who you are
live for love, for peace, for hope in sorrow
live bright today and gladly fade tomorrow

Live this true and noble quest
far from those of Gods detest
turn down the jewelled and gold request
earn your way to Heavens heart

Let the righteous man be spoken
the fire in his eyes awoken
holding Bible by his side
as the Devil fills his heart with pride

Judgement only to ones self
free from glory free from wealth
live in freedom live in love
be your only master God above
