Lips of a Liar

I’ve kissed the lips of many a liar Lip to lip with barbed wire I’ve held the hands of those who cheated Hand in hand they competed I’ve seen the eyes of love turned stranger Eye for an eye we endanger I’ve heard the whispers of distrust Whisper after whisper turn in disgust I’ve smelled the fear of the coward Fear makes fear, mind devoured I’ve had the fingers pointed, judgment made Judge, be judged, self righteous crusade. I’ve kissed the lips of many a liar Lip on lip, blood and fire.
