A blind lady holds the scales
But lends juries her sacred sword
Hoping reason will find justice
For the guiltless and evil it’s reward.
To those who feel this is zero sum
There is no balance for evil done.
Guiltless cheater
restrain your pleasures,
give some and be selfless;
don't walk on water
to show confidence
and hide your pretense!
What was yours
will be taken away,
from you eventually;
you live for the moment!
You leave hearts
bleeding and shivering...
giving no thought
if they get hurt!
Guiltless cheater
lust is a temporary delight
sought without insight;
love can be as eternal
as the Heavens that enthrall!
Change your behavior
and go after that true woman
who has deeply shown
her immutable devotion;
is my advice irrational?
What you hear about me
is a story made up of lies
by someone who tries
to steal you from me!
Never believe in a guiltless liar,
all he does is spy and feel despair;
listening to private conversations,
even changing Spades into Kings!
He tells everyone we are two plain fools,
living in a virtual world where fantasy is cool
and things are unreal and nobody drinks boos,
where players love the arcade game Zool!
Never, never believe in a guiltless liar,
spare yourself agony, stay in one piece;
don't let him stop you from being honest and fair...
you chose me, I chose you we are the perfect pair!
Never believe in a guiltless liar,
he'll make you lose everything;
never believe in a guiltless liar
who claims to be a real king!
admit nothing
deny everything
remain dignified
arrange alibis
hide evidence
make circumstance
swear on the Bible
that you’re not liable.

To undo what was done,
to find again what was gone,
must the fury of fire and flood
demand the shedding
of innocent blood?
