Run for your life
Run, run now, run, run for your life.
For you cannot hide what you are,
Then I sat by myself, and then again,
We were three, alone, together,
I looked at myself and again,
We three, what are we?
In time we are one,
One dance on the lines of a page,
One page in one book, on one shelf
Against one wall and in one room.
I stand and stand again, and again,
For I remain three today,
All in my own way today,
For Evil laughed at me today,
And I grapped it hard and again,
Harder still and again,
With force I crushed it harder still.
Crushed it with the thoughts of love,
With my City's heart and youth,
Dead in body, but not soul,
Evil run now, run from my hometown,
Be chased by the power of the northern love,
Fear the fear of a united place,
Race away before you are truly faced.
Then we three pray as one now,
As one human body kneeling,
Look up and new stars will appear,
Look at me and what can you see?
The strength from those not now here.

It builds up in the beginning, and then stays powerful enough through the remainder that by the end requires a re-read to fully appreciate the gravity of the words.?
