The Crüxshadows - Sophia

when life has slipped behind this isolation
cruelty & hatred have become
the cause of those whose eyes are full of wanting
the truth will still abandon none...
so you must carry this light into the darkness
you shall be a star unto the night
you will find hope alive among the hopeless
that is your purpose to this life

the lips draw words
and hands find actions
still there is more within one heart
and to the silence, will you answer?
before the chaos, will you come?

Do not injustice to another
defend the weak & innocent
may truth & honor always guide you
let courage find a life within
Stand up when no one else is willing
act not in anger or in spite
be to this world as a perfect knight
even if it means your life...

here I am,
alive among the injured and the dead
here I am
thy will be done
sancta Sophia
peace is born to your victory
Athena Sophia
how can I hope to live... what I cannot dream?

you cannot map the ways of divinity......
This much is known...
only unto God

and through these doubts
and through your confusion
know that you are chosen to this fight
look to find a soul filled with compassion
look to see see a living source of light

Do not injustice to another
defend the weak & innocent
let truth & honor always guide you
let courage find a life within
Stand up when no one else is willing
act not in hatred or in spite
be to this world as a perfect knight
even if it means your life...

here I am,
alive among the injured and the dead
here I am
thy will be done
sancta Sophia
peace is born to your victory
Athena Sophia
How can I hope to be... what I can't believe...

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature,
capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
If you wish to find that which becomes the dividing line between
mankind and other biological classifications, it rests not in
brain size, dominance, or even emotional capability. It lies within
the innate capacity for human beings to reflect on their actions,
and show regret. It is most certainly the ability to empathize that gives
them their position. All mammals understand love and affection, but
only man shows a propensity to place himself into the shoes of
another life-form. Losing this capability, among individuals of the species,
reduces them below their much heralded position,
and readies the climate for the likely fall of man.
A fall from grace.

Do not injustice to another
defend the weak & innocent
let truth & honor always guide you
let courage find a life within
Stand up when no one else is willing
act not in hatred or in spite
be to this world as a perfect knight
even if it means your life...

here I am,
alive among the injured and the dead
here I am
thy will be done
sancta Sophia
peace is born to your victory
Athena Sophia
how can I hope to find what I cannot see?
here I am,
alive among the injured and the dead
here I am
thy will be done
sancta Sophia
peace is born to your victory
Hagia Sophia
How can I hope be, what's inside of me?
