Lyric - Be your own leader

[Ozzie]

Okay, probably this text doesn't make much sense.
But I wrote it for a song, so it mainly should sound nice.

My main problem is that the grammar is probably a bit wonky.
It would be nice if someone could fix it for me.

But all critic is still very welcome.
I'm not exactly that proud of it. It has probably a bit too much pathos.

Here it is:

I am all drowned in absence,
trouble takes its time.
Digging in hope to find sense,
problems near to shine.

Caught the hope in my hands,
held it to my heart.
Kept this shimmering darling
for troubled times apart.

And the riot adopts the street,
spreading over every city.
Fighting for things they're unaware about,
anarchy is the winning arm.

I sense fire burning,
fed by anger and hate.
No one, no one could extinct it,
it seems to be all too late.

You can fight, you should, you must fight,
but it's better, it's better to listen first.

You're your own leader,
ignore the belief feeders,
where is a personal advantage
there are lies.

And the riot rampages through the streets,
destroying every city.
Fighting for something they're not sure about,
civil life is on the run.

Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?

No bond is holding together,
everybody's fighting each other.
When all is battered and broken,
a miraculous wonder is spun.

Nothing remained intact,
nobody remained alive.
And out of the corpse of death,
vitality struggles for life.

A new culture starts to breed,
building on the ruins of the past one.
They have some million years to beat
to follow the fate of the lost one.

But maybe they will do it better, learn together to avoid a pattern.
There's still the hope in my heart
believing in a change.

It's tough to fix the grammar for english without changing the way your song flows.   Seems like a good song, though I'm not sure I understand it all with your choice of words.  However, I'd like to hear it when you finish.

[Ozzie]

Yeah, I know, fixing may destroy the flow.
But I still could change it then again afterwards again.
Also, the song actually allows it to stretch some syllables or sing some more, it's not that strict.
