Ignite
Ignore the voices
Those murmurings of doubt
Call forth the flame,
The light to face the darkness
Keep it alive,
Keep the attacks at bay
Pile on the wood,
Fan the coals into something to be proud of
Let it devour your fear before your fear devours you
Ignite yourself with it
String up the lights,
String them up across the walls
Shining for all to see
Awaken the hope you need to stay alive
Fight for it, reach for it
Barricade the doors and keep watch:
The hardest battle is yet to come.
