Forgiven
Why should I
by and by
Give in to a little 'White Lie?'
400 years and counting
Now deception, destruction, and death surmounting
From whips and chains
to covert stress and strain
Make believe or pretend
this macabre never seems to end
Like water flowing from a chute
precious black blood in city streets but no one
gives a hoot
Why should I
by and by
Give in to a little 'White Lie?'
Why? I say! Should I?
by and by
Give in to a little 'White lie?'
