Not a single thing on the earth
Can compare to the evening light,
Showing us, in the dark, our worth,
Which is clouded within the night.
It tells us to rest in our fight,
And relax in the world wide shade.
It tells us there’s an end in sight
To the slash of each silver blade.
It tells us our heads should be layed
And there’ll be peace in the final hour.
It tells us there’s fairness in each trade
And beauty in each flower.
So we go to rest every time
Knowing our life is truly sublime

They will always see that in my eyes
I am the passion, I am the warfare
I will never stop
Always constant,
Accurate,
Intense"

Well, I thought this was rather good! :smt001 I can't find anything wrong with it, but I would split the lines, especially:

Showing us, in the dark, our worth,

I would split this line in three at each comma so there's more flow going on. :smt001

Besides that, I've never heard of the word sublime! Hmm, I should look it up... PM me if you need anything

Never forget who you are
Be an unforgettable shining star*

Hi! I liked this, it was a nice little read. Here's my review, my corrections in reddish pink:

And there’ll be peace in the final hour.
It tells us there’s fairness in each trade
And * beauty in each flower.

Honey, you should see me in a crown.
