The Game
I believe in freedom
I believe in love
I believe in all things
Sent from up above
I don't believe in hatred
I don't believe in pain
I don't believe that's it's ok
To play a deadly game
Then they get the knives out
And cut you to the core
While all the sadists
Just laugh and beg for more
What can you do
In a world that's lost it's mind
Why does no-one ever say
Let's try being kind.
The answer must surely be
Corruption and deception
It would take a miracle
To free me from rejection.
They stand to make a fortune
From my demise
This is what I've got
For being worldly wise.
The time is coming
They'll be knocking at my door
Then I won't be able
To help you any more.
So I say
May God help you all
Be warned of false prophets
And break down the wall.
