Trust No One

Dark night when trust is being painted and betrayed,
When young men behaved like apes on the loose,
Deflowered by six-man gang on rampage,
Trusted and confidant pal turned to ape this day,

When young men behaved like apes on the loose,
She was lured into a trap by a known friend,
Trusted and confidant pal turned to ape this day,
Mistrust! justice must be done as she's ready to kill.

She was lured into a trap by a known friend,
Deflowered by six-man gang on rampage,
Mistrust! justice must be done as she's ready to kill,
Dark night when trust is being painted and betrayed.
