Warrior
Crossing shadowy depths
I walked through the valley
Below the sight of fear itself
Disavowed heroes cast
A mournful sorrowed gaze
Upon the warrior unknown
A warrior not of battles
Not of bullets
Nor swords or spears
A warrior of words
A warrior of love
A warrior against hate
Cast down for holding
Not of the loved ones
But for the secrets he keeps
A warrior of character
A warrior of trust
A warrior against fear
This warrior never loses
Nor bows his head in defeat
Just stand resolute
Not for himself
But for others
Who need his strength
A warrior who fights
Not for his love
Nor for his faith
A warrior who fights
For the truth
For the ones he loves
