Familial Betrayal, Puppies and Doomsday

Who am I but another lost soul burning in hell Once drowned in the blood of my dead heart Ripped out without reason before doomsday No one should have to die before their time To be consumed by fire at any time of day Familial betrayal comes warm to the touch Cute and cuddly like a favorite pet hugged Subterfuge is not another word for trust Which once upon a time we called love Death and taxes should be so easy when they come As sweet and evil as the words rolling off your tongue The pulse of money is weaker than you think Take it now but it has no power in the grave Which is not that far away from your doomsday
