Demolition Job
Where are they now
All those that knew me
Knives in my back
Piercing right through me
So much to gain
From my demise
It was so easy
By just telling lies.
It took 20 years
To do this to me
It's no longer obvious
What I might be
Surrounded by evil
Greed and malice
Wanting to steal
My sacred chalice
Not just that
But everything
I am left with nothing
Not even a ring
They try to scare me
But it doesn't work
They hate the fact
That their jibes I can shirk.
Will I survive to see tomorrow?
I say to myself everyday
Why must I live my life in sorrow?
It was never meant to be this way?
No friends
Just predators and weapons
No love
Apart from the love of my dear son.
May God Protect us Both
