False Friend
I called you friend when you were foe
You were patient before you struck the blow
Parading as sheep in wolves clothing
Perpetrating allegiances while resentment was growing
Friends turned to enemies
Another conflict displayed it vividly
We were the sword and shield
Till true intent was revealed
Now that our phalanx has been cracked
From the treachery of knives in backs
Has me questioning every fealty
I believed a charade so agreeably
Stupid and careless
To let decline my awareness
Trojan horse full of Greeks
A proven formula for defeats
I was too trusting with my trust
Now only the death penalty is just
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Easily achieved when your friends the poser
Dead to me has a brand new meaning
My only satisfaction is witnessing you stretched out bleeding
You were patient before you struck the blow
Parading as sheep in wolves clothing
Perpetrating allegiances while resentment was growing
Friends turned to enemies
Another conflict displayed it vividly
We were the sword and shield
Till true intent was revealed
Now that our phalanx has been cracked
From the treachery of knives in backs
Has me questioning every fealty
I believed a charade so agreeably
Stupid and careless
To let decline my awareness
Trojan horse full of Greeks
A proven formula for defeats
I was too trusting with my trust
Now only the death penalty is just
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Easily achieved when your friends the poser
Dead to me has a brand new meaning
My only satisfaction is witnessing you stretched out bleeding
