Lost Souls & Midian

I found this in some old files.

The people before you,
In armies and starry reflections
Are the salt in your blood,
So let it not spill unless to defend their honor.

What you are looking for
Is not in your pockets,
But behind your eyes
So darkened by sin and despair.

Today you are an island of power,
A tower sprung from the soil,
So take your family and run
To the very end of everything.

There is a shadow place
In the heartless void beyond the sky,
And it calls you and tempts you
To fall into it like riverbeds flow.

Release your fires into midnight
And sleep like sleep will save the world,
And force life from the deserts
And faith from the helpless.
