Judas

You see a man's face you don't see his heart 
Some people pretend to be your friend, only to put a knife in your back 
A smiling face doesn't mean a cheerful heart 
They may sit with you while they await your ship to sink.
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness, I am stronger than you think
Selfishness lives in everyone
Every man has a price
Judas sold Christ for 30 pieces of silver, what's your price? 
Betrayal is in the eyes of the person you trust only they can sell you out 
Nail you to a burning cross and watch 
They walk with you but they are not for you
They are waiting for your failing hour, just before dawn
Like a seed in the ground I will rise you can't bury me 
What's your price, to sell a friend? some people don't even need a dime ...your failure is the only glory they need 
Your enemies may be the one that you call your friend...watch your back, they are next to you
I will rise to see another day,, I am stronger than you think
