My Home is in your Heart (A collaboration by Rett and Eddie)

Scene;    Two creatures speaking to a human who is at the precipice of his life.
Eddie:     creature of the dark
Rett:        creature of the light
human:   you

I was born of a dark creature
whose only purpose
is to bring the dark into your life

I was formed of the light
my purpose is to shine
upon the darkness inherit in man

Evil rained upon me day and night
every malignant thought that came into my mind
was to bring the dark into your world,

I have fought the reign of evil for time immemorial
to light the way for love and beauty
and to bring justice for all

Speedily I went leaving devastation in my wake
wave after wave of cruelty I slammed upon your shores
where you thought that it was safe
eroding all the barriers that you had put in place,

I played upon the conscience to cause sorrow
at the cruelty and injustice visited by evil
that erodes the fabric of humanity
and the belief that life is a precious commodity

I am the creature of the dark
the one that lies in wait inside your heart
for an opportunity to bring your world to its conclusion
with the fall of things you thought would give you might,

I am the bright sword of justice
not to be wielded by those whose soul is black,
wading in the blood of the innocents, but to raise the banner
of peace and brotherhood to all people

Those that look to bring me light
I have burned in the flames of my inferno
not a memory is left
of the thoughts they thought
would bring me light,

Evil is easy to falll prey to, with lies
disguised as promises of power and wealth,
but underneath all is rotten and putrid
only giving corruption and aping to yourself
as all wallow in the misery of self destruction

So dont look into my eyes
for my darkness will seep into your heart
and my decay will destroy
the very light that emanates
from deep inside your soul,

raise my sword for it is justice,
raise my shield, for it is protection,
raise your eyes unto me for it is love
that emanates from every pore
and shall sustain you even unto the end

Battle is not an option
your light will not illuminate inside my dark places
you can rest assure that my darkness will overtake
the pathetic hope you think will save your life,

Conflict is ever present in you
and the light of goodness must always do battle
with the darkness that persuades with fear and greed
that hope is only for those who look to the dark

I will dance upon your grave
and barbecue your very soul
while i feast on all those
who just like you prayed on hope,

I will light even your darkest night
and sustain your soul even after death
and your tomb would not be confining
but only a passage into the light of day

Dreams, hopes, and salvation,
these I'll feed to all my minions
leaving the desire for one more morsel
that one more morsel, will be my dessert
the tasty broken heart, this is left,

Only worm infested graves and terror-ridden night
await those who feast upon the misery of others
and their main course shall be ruin and rot
of the spirit, with empty dishes of hunger
to lie like maggots in the mind

You thought that someone would come and save the day
you let your hope tie you down with the chains that you called faith
but you did not have an inkling of what it takes
to walk away from my embrace

When hope is gone and all is sorrow
you can turn to me for knowledge, for succor,
for friendship and I will sustain you even against shadow
I will help you to turn from the dark embrace
of evil that stains your soul

Yes!
I am the creature of the dark
and my abode is in your very heart.

Yes!
I am the wielder of the sword of light
and my abode is in your very heart.
