Hear the flames crackle
Fall on your sword
Live like a Jackal
Die like a dog
The lion is weary
Hyenas dart and bite
Their laughing is eerie
He'll lose his last fight.
The vultures are circling
Eyes that see far
Their shadow is on you
Wherever you are.
Betrayal was easy
You were attracted to strife
You gambled with demons
And wagered my life
Now dust claims your legend
You can't make it whole
May hell give you welcome
for you the bell tolls
So hear the flames crackle
No lion saves you now
Live like a Jackal
Die like a dog
The lesser of two evils, do two wrongs make one right?
The bullets may have steel hulls, but it takes powder to ignite.
The elephant in the room, can't be seen.
It's a skeleton in the closet, for too long it has been.
So bite the bullet, let the cat out of the bag.
Kick the bucket, give the lake a drag.
From rags to riches, from pillar to post.
You left your duty, when it needed you most.
The lesser of two evils, do two wrongs make one right?
The bullets may have steel hulls, but it takes powder to ignite.
Fall on your sword, fall on your knees.
Accept the cure, you are the disease.
Some Rich
Some rich will always go to hell
They cheat their brothers very well
Hypocracy won’t change the plot
Take money from the poor or not?
Change your ways , change your habit
To cheat your neighbour is just fraud
Rip him off says the rabbit
Eventually, fall on your sword
So play the game decently
Give the slow one fair breaks
I was slow just recently
from the fog , brain damage makes
Don Johnson
Head kicked by hoss ,
Brain at a loss
15 years in a fog
Sharp as a frog
And no one gave a toss…
