Liar

Liar high and liar low,
feel the ocean's undertow,
be thee friend or be thee foe,
your fate awaits you far below.

Your fate awaits you far below,
lift the veil and you will know,
too many cherished vows let go,
learn what you reap is what you sow.

Learn what you reap is what you sow,
how many suffered, how much woe,
feel the sickness, dying slow,
see the flames of Hades glow.

See the flames of Hades glow,
feel the wind of justice blow,
you let the suffering of others grow,
liar high and liar low.

you're a liar, you don't need to breathe. how will you feel when you're buried beneath the ground? surrounded by the demons and the clowns. so good. =] i couldn't have said it any better.
