A flicker a flame

The light it almost out

As evil reigns

In a great big lie.

I would give more

But I have nothing left

All of it gone

Through deceit and theft.

Selling me

And selling you

For money

And for power

All in a half truth

That was never true at all. 

Covering up the reasons

And covering up the truth

The father of lies

And the father of murder. 

Right here

And right now

The perfect seat

To know and to see.  

Bought and sold

Soulless and dead

All fixed up

And all fixed in. 

Innocence is nothing

And good is outdated

As they trade away

Everything

For a few dollars more.  

Many lie

And many are quiet

Sleeping in their dreams

Used and forgotten.    

The future is a cliff

And a bottomless void

Driven off

And falling down.  

Let them stumble

And let them fall

All who plot

And all who lie.
