Et Tu Brute - the Final Betrayal

He promised me i would not die
As I’d been forced to live
He promised me I would not cry
And his heart he would give

And now its summed up in a sigh
The sorrow and the pain
No more will I be placed on high
Just caught up in a game

A game that is so deadly
It leaves you mortified
And that’s when you realise
There’s nowhere left to hide

Then they kill you with the rumours
And beat you with the lies
There's nowhere left to run now
You're not wanted when love dies.

After all the waiting
So loyal was my love
All I’ve been is just a fool
Sent from up above.

I once thought i was special
But they’ve destroyed that thought
Now I feel like nothing
For everyone’s been bought

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.

Betrayal

Cuts like a knife
Destroyed my life
Now i’ll never
Be your wife

You played your games
For 20 years
Whilst i grew old
And felt the fears
A lonely life
Brim full of tears.
A cruel encapsulation.

You are free
And i am not
So now you’ve gone
What have i got -
Absolutely nothing.

I waited like you told me to
Believed in you through and through
But then what did you go and do?
Total annihilation,

Rejection i can handle
Even hatred too
But it’s such a bitter pill
When it comes from you.

I did not like the drama
Of your last goodbye
You chose humiliation 
In the public eye

You know the real truth
Of who and what i am
And i always thought
That you'd come up with a plan

All I've ever wanted
Is to be respected
It seems to me that all you’ve done
is make sure i’m rejected.

I just pray that somewhere
There’s still someone who cares
For worthless i am not
Despite your fanfares.

You Killed My Prayers

You killed my praying
You killed my prayers
Now everything
Is up in the air

You said it was madness
You said it was wrong
Just like whenever
I sing a song

Obsessed by hatred
Obsessed by greed
You are the mad one
Please interceed

My heart is broken
My spirit is too
I just wish someone
Would do this to you

For you should suffer
For what you've done
You need to pay
For what you've become

You control everyone
Why don't they see
They could fall victim
Just like me

They should reject you
Say you're a fraud
Then I can once again
Give thanks to the Lord.

Amen

God Save Me

Love Love Love
That’s what they
Gave to me,
So Why Why Why
Do I live in Slavery

Hate Hate Hate
Always knocking 
At my door
Where life or death
Depends on the floor

Perception changed
In the blinking 
Of an eye
Now all I can do
Is sit here and cry

I cry for lost love
I cry with no hope
And yet somehow
I will always,
Always cope.

Because I am a Christian
I’m tortured everyday
Someone decided 
To take my life away

They saw a chance to profit
From all that I have done
I pay for my confinement
And am the lonely one.

I hope that one day
The real truth will be known
Who I am and what I am
In blood flesh and bone

Until that day cometh
Pray God stay with me
Then I’ll survive until the day
The real me though dost see

GOD SAVE ME

Exploitation

Exploitation

Exploitation - that’s the name of the game
Exploitation- Just so much total pain
Should be torture, criminality
But no never – not when it’s done to me.

A whole life lost
With no way out
That it’s so wrong
There’s just no doubt.

Not quite perfect
Not good enough for them
As image means everything
To these particular men.

Because I’m old, fat ugly,
I don’t stand a chance
They will not let me be myself
Refusing me romance

So I do it all – EVERYTHING,
Then it’s stolen 
And they say 
It’s not a sin.

It's all shared out,
Between my 'friends'
So they wont tell
How bad it ends.

My mind plundered
My heart broken
Just how much
Remains unspoken.


When is a crime not a crime?
When it’s applied to me.
Even though they have it all,
They still won’t set me free.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH - FREEDOM OF THOUGHT - FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
                                   AN END TO REAL SLAVERY

A Lament

When you think somebody loves you
Respects you through and through
Then you see that in reality
They laugh at what you do.

It seems that being sacred
Serene and Joyful too
Is thought of as a problem
When it’s perceived by you

I never thought I’d see the time
He turned his back on me
But maybe I’m the lucky one
If he wont let me be.

A lament for loving,
A lament for respect
A lament for friendship
A lament for SANITY

A lament for you
A lament for me
A lament for all things
Meant to be.

May God help us and deliver us all to salvation.

Nobody, Nowhere With No-One

NOBODY, NOWHERE WITH NO-ONE

So now they just reject me
After 18 years,
Stripped of everything it seems
And laughing at my tears.

No more the Hero
No more the Star
And as for a Princess
I’ve travelled too far.

I am the same person
My heart has stayed true
But that does not matter
Not even to you

I really wish that I could be
Everything they want
A diamond encrusted skull
Not just a worthless punt

In a way I’m glad I’m old
For it is plain to see
The world has lost a great gift
By them abusing me.

The less time I live with it
The shorter be the pain
A life so sadly frozen
Because they played a game

So please beware imposters
For it is plain to see
That others will profit now
Because I was just me.

Of

Of all the things I could have been 
I end up being nothing

Of all the things I really am
Ignored till there is nothing

Of all the things I’ve ever seen
It’s just like I’ve seen nothing

Of all the things I ever dreamed
All faded now to nothing

Of all the men I’ve ever loved
Betrayed till I have no-one

Of all the songs I’ve ever sung
All gone now there is nothing

Of  all the joy I tried to share
They took it till there’s nothing

Of everything I’ve had to bear
All worthless now there’s:-

NOTHING
NO-ONE
NOWHERE

NOTHING NO-ONE NOWHERE

Vive La Difference

They keep me awake all night 
So I sleep all day
Then they blame me
And take my life away

That is how my life is
In this awful game
So rejected am I
A life of constant pain

I say please reverse this
Let them feel the same
Let them know what it’s like
To live Eternal shame.

The reasons they reject me for
I conquer everyday
But they just ignore it
So evil is their way.

Those who hurt me
just don't see
That they are being used
By the powers that be

Those who mastermind this
Are working to a plan
It is entrapment
A great big scam.

My world would be full of love
Where no-one was rejected
For no matter what you think
We all should be protected.

It’s alright to be different
For if it was not
Greatness would not exist
Then what have we got?
