Sophia

"The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty."

When life has slipped behind this isolation
Cruelty and 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 action
Still there is more within one heart
Into the silence will you answer
Before the chaos will you come

Do not injustice to another
Defend the weak and innocent
Let truth and 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 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 a living source of light

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, but lies in the unique capacity for human beings to reflect on their actions and show regret, what is most certainly the ability to empathize, that gives them their position. All mammals understand love and affection, but only man shows the propensity to place himself into the shoes of another life-form. Losing this capability, among individuals of this species, reduces them below their much heralded position, and readies the climate for the likely fall of man, the fall from grace."

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
Pieces born to your victory
Hagia Sophia
How can I hope to be
What's inside of me
