Seek refuge in my heart
If the entire world wages war
And your body's bruised and sore
Seek refuge in my aid,
If the power-hungry monsters let you starve
And your entire fate is left to carve
Seek refuge in my shade,
If the discordance takes its toll
And it's disrupting every goal
Seek refuge in my harmony,
If your supporters have inveighed
And your only protection is your blade
Seek refuge in my armoury,
If your victories begin to abate
And the opposition causes you to negate
Seek refuge in my strategy,
If the voices overcome you
And you fail to remember what is true
Seek refuge in my monology,
If you disbelieve what you were taught
And your endurance is close to naught
Seek refuge in my academy,
If your nightmares pull you far away
And your journey to the empyrean is underway
Seek refuge in my gravity,
If you wish to leave the past behind
And discover a brand-new design
Seek refuge in my art,
If you protect fully out of altruism
And love with full enthusiasm
Seek refuge in my heart.
