Do not give excuses or mask
Your actions as good intentions
It is plain to see you bask
You glory in the attention
The more you tried to crush
My spirit rose up against you
Your words I simply brush
Mere nothing but defeat to you
Do not wake a sleeping lion
A phoenix is born in a fire
Dare a war as I stand on Zion
I’ll burn bridges, light a pyre
You don the attitude of a saint
You may fool crowds, not me
I witnessed first hand the taint
As I watched from the marquee
Maybe one day we meet again
I will remember the good
By then, time will dull my pain
But if I forget you, I would.
