Blazing Truth
Long in the tooth
eyes growing dim
in the age of my life
Shadows creep in
between all work
no time to play
Consumed by your game
in snatched wisdom
playing the violin
Pulling on the cords
played me
like a fool
Forked the tongue spits
wings of an angel fell
Truth walks in lying
saying you never
really loved me sad
Opening the door
not even caring
Broken wings bring
darkness armed
and dangerous
filled with hate
Blew the heart
into so many pieces
told afterwards
Finding out truth
been having an affair
Doing overtime
made me foolish believing
sleeping with the boss
Blamed it on me
cowards way out
Do I look stupid as well
Shot down
in your blaze of glory
by your very
own brother
uncovered the lie
