Sweet Darling

Hard-hitting riffs and emotive melodies. Separation from Soul is a cathartic, reflective exploration of loss.

[Verse 1]  
I’ve seen the winds of war roll in  
Like thunder from the sky  
But I’ve held a child in trembling arms  
And taught her not to cry  
It’s not the sword that makes you strong  
It’s standing for the right  
It’s holding ground with open arms  
But ready for the fight  

[Chorus]
Peace with strength, strength with grace  
A calm heart in a restless place  
Not backin’ down, not throwin’ stones  
But never walkin' this world alone  
Let justice ring, let courage rise  
Like morning sun in open skies  
We dream, we build, we still defend  
Peace with strength — until the end  

[Verse 2]  
I’ve walked through cities torn by hate  
And felt the silence scream  
But in the rhythm of a rebel song  
I found a deeper dream  
It’s not in might, it’s in the will  
To never turn away  
To hold the line of love and truth  
No matter what they say  

[Chorus]
Peace with strength, strength with grace  
A calm heart in a restless place  
Not backin’ down, not throwin’ stones  
But never walkin' this world alone  
Let justice ring, let courage rise  
Like morning sun in open skies  
We dream, we build, we still defend  
Peace with strength — until the end  

[Verse 3]  
This world may shake, the night may fall  
But we won’t be erased  
We’ll stand as bridges, not just walls  
With dignity and grace  

[Final Chorus]
Peace with strength, strength with grace  
A calm heart in a restless place  
Not backin’ down, not throwin’ stones  
But never walkin' this world alone  
Let justice ring, let courage rise  
Like morning sun in open skies  
We rise, we heal, we won't pretend—  
Peace with strength…  
Peace with strength…  
Until the end  


Peace with Strength
