I was cleaning up my documents folder and stumbled across this old beauty I simply adored. So I decided to repost it. I hope you all enjoy, and don't forget to review!

Songs of the Souls
There was once a man
So clever, so kind
Decided to save a crumbling earth
To make certain the future bind.
In turn, he set his soul
Into stitchpunks nine
But then he passed away
Leaving them behind.
He writes his song
The first was standoffish
Arrogant and bold
The leader of them all
Cape of red, crown of gold.
To protect us, he was
Supposed to be kind
At the end, his sacrifice
Is what you'll find.
He ensures the song
The second, kind and sweet
He was a brave old man
But ideas and questions
From the group he was banned.
To inspire us, he did
Keep spirits high
But the stakes, however, remained soaring
And he must say goodbye.
He sings the song
A set of twins, never separated,
The third and fourth
Their voices far away
Always curious of course.
To define and teach us, they will
He will study, he will read,
Shy spirits never wavered
Intellect leads.
They read the song
The fifth of them,
Diligent and shy
A hard worker and a faithful friend
Describes this guy.
To guide us
Forever he will remain
In the hearts of those alive
Loss is on the rise
Hard to say goodbye.
He protects the song
The sixth, banded and soft-voiced
The one of the world of art
Sees things, his understanding,
Sets him apart.
To lead us,
He saw, he knew, they were just too blind
The kin that believed him
He left him behind.
He draws the song
The seventh, a beautiful warrior
Tough spirit, leave no one ever
To be heartless
She will never.
To defend us
She will cry
"Let this war end."
She will protect her kind.
She defends the song
The eighth, and supposedly the last
Was none too bright
With weapons like iron-cast
He will force you, stay right.
To guard us, he will
For leaders he will die
And although he was cruel
Nonetheless, he said goodbye.
He shields the song.
The last of them
Good-hearted, soul of pure, sincere,
He was brave and set things right
He was believed here.
To save us, he did
The three he will forever love
And through the loss
It was enough.
He protects the song.
It shall sing forever on.
