Trace Of The Believers

They used to pray here, and celebrate
Their faith in a bigger thing, which might
Look down on them with mercy, and
Ease their worries in the dying light,
Faith in a god, who could give them
Patient strength, and the will to fight
For survival in an unforgiving, untamed
Land, take their minds off of their plight...
