Who Will Be The Victor

Missing image

This angel of darkness finally fell

pleading release from Satan's dark spell,

though strength of his wings seem powerful and sure

for Lucifer's pleasure, pain he's had to endure.

 

But in creeps the light from God's heaven above

with wings beating softly like the peaceful flutter of the dove,

His love and forgiveness she embraces him with

for truly His blessedness is surely no myth.

 

He succumbs to the peace, giving way to the fact

that a pact with the devil will dark evil attract,

as the tears start to fall has he seen grace anew

but has he seen life through eyes that are true?

 

Or is this a ruse to capture one more

for ths devil doesn't give in easily and takes careful score,

so any attempt to surround the light with his evil

he'll surely use to create more upheavel.

 

The scene plays out with the victor unknown

for both will end up upon one of these thrones,

will it be the darkness that ends up surrounding

or the light with its grace that ends up abounding.
