One by One

I was looking through an old English binder when I found this. I'm not sure how I feel about this, I don't even feel like I wrote it. But either way, I think it's pretty good.

One by One
Alone they come
They drop their high, sighs back here fly
If ever they knew what all they now know
Trade it, they would, change what they sew
Change from the start
Change every lie for
Sovereignty, honestly, purity, heart
To be rewarded in eternity’s sky
