King Of The Hill

King Of The Hill

A Poem by Svenny
"

Lyrics

"

When power is gained
those who should refrain
try to decide what's best
without a sound for the rest

 

Building a platform of lies
we watch as honesty dies
They say power corrupts
his response: "Put up or shut up."

 

When you're king of the hill
you'll get your fill
as the war machine turns
and the consequences burn

 

As the dust clears
the masses hudled in fear
This monster we've created
will become our most hated

 

We've made ourselves helpless;
blind to real-world distress
Soon he'll control your mind
and sanity, you'll never find

 

When you're king of the hill
you'll get your fill
as the war machine turns
and the consequences burn

Author's Note

Svenny
okay so it happens that I'm in a band and this is my first attempt at lyrics, so please view them as such and not as actual poetry. thanks
