When the Seraphim Fall From A Darkened Sky

Your soul, is it in existence?
your armor, is it strong and resistant?
your light, can it fight the darkness consuming us
even as Hell rises from the dust?

their deadly dances in the sky
so perfectly matched no matter how hard they try
in pairs they fall to the desolate earth
as she cries for her newfound inability to give birth

and still they rise and they fight
in all their heavenly might
rain washing the dirt from their beautiful skin
trying to find victory from within

A seraphim stands alone on a cliff
heavenward her head lifts
and she watches the battle from her perch
and for God's mercy, she begins to search

this is so hopeless!
so worthless, so pointless!
why must they all fight eachother?
sister against sister, brother against brother?

the earth has already been destroyed
its people cast out into the void
she shakes her head in disgust
realizing she should do what she must

a dark figure recklessly drops from above
her heart constricts with unbearable love
one of her brothers has fallen
his apponent just behind him

she shoots up into the sky
letting out a warrior's cry
and before he could touch the ground
the solution she has finally found

she catches his limp form
and flies him away from the storm
his apponent drops onto the ground
making a loud cracking sound

his eyes flutter open and he awakes
as she lands beside a dried up lake
far from the battle taking place
the hard look in his eyes beginning to erase

she motions for him to come
saying that they're finally done
and hand in hand they walk away
upon the barren land that had seen better days
