Death is calling her home
She hears him, but does not listen
She continues to go on, striving to succeed
Pushing her way at any cost to take the lead
He’s creeping upon her like a shadow
Continually stealing her strength
She’s getting weaker, stumbling along the way
Constantly wondering if he will pass or stay
They are both at war, never giving up
Each striving to overcome this losing battle
Never wanting to admit their own losses
Tearing at each other and pushing on at all cost
Finally the time has come…
Will she choose to surrender or to defeat
She has fought the fight of impossible for some
And realized that she can overcome
She walks forward, trying to conceal
The weapon at her side, gaining confidence at every turn
Face to face with him, she rises and strikes him to the ground
She has conquered the evil one and proven that Love still abounds.
