"The Jesus Lake"
I’m on watch duty tonight, and all seems quiet enough on my side of the shore.
The searchlights are vacant, and I’m the only line of defense.
(Shall I sneak a wink of sleep?
Just a few minutes so I can hide myself away...?)
But oh!
The arrows of an intruder fly by, catch my eye,
and in shadows I’ll defend my isle.
A valiant struggle ensues...
I’ve trained for this, and I’ve dreamed of this,
I’ve taken the time to make myself stronger.
And I will not fail.
I will not fall.
Honestly, I’ve faced tougher enemies.
In all sincerity, I’ve never been afraid.
This won’t be the last time I stand.
My own two feet are strong enough to keep me in one place,
my own two hands are calloused and reliable,
and when my own will is set to the soundtrack of this atmosphere,
I am infallible.
I am unstoppable.
