Warrior❋

I fall asleep in my own tears

I cry for the world, for everyone

and I build a boat to float in;

I'm floating, away

I can't recall the last time 

I opened my eyes to see the world as beautiful

and I build a cage to hide in, 

I'm hiding, I'm trying, to battle the night

Let love conquer your mind

Warrior, warrior

just reach out for the light

Warrior, warrior

I am a warr-ia-ia-ia-iah

Warrior, warrior

I am a warr-ia-ia-ia-iah

Warrior, warrior of love.

I stand behind a wall

Of people and thoughts, mind controlling

and I hold a sword to guide me

I'm fighting, my way

I can't recall the last time

I opened my eyes to see the world as beautiful

and I build a cage to hide in,

I'm hiding, I'm trying, to battle the night

Let love conquer your mind

Warrior, warrior

Just reach out for the light

Warrior, warrior

I am a warr-ia-ia-ia-iah

Warrior, warrior

I am a warr-ia-ia-ia-iah

Warrior, warrior of love!

Underneath darkened sky,

There's a light kept alive

Let love conquer your mind

Warrior, warrior

Just reach out for the light

Warrior, warrior

I am a warr-ia-ia-ia-iah

Warrior, warrior

I am a warr-ia-ia-ia-iah

Warrior, warrior of love.

Warrior of love

Warrior of love~

This is a song written by the lovely Aurora Aksnes, fairy from the Northern lands.❋

Although you asked for a poem, her songs are crafted in a beautifully poetic way that gets you feeling all sorts of ways.

I also recommend listening to Running with the Wolves, My Heart is a Storm, Winter Bird, Silhouettes, In Boxes, Conqueror, and Murder Song (studio version), all by Aurora.

This is only one of her pieces, she has written so many heart-wrenching, beautiful songs~

Hope you enjoy and become a Warrior yourself~ ❤︎
