Never speak a word in my defense

By Shade

Never speak a word in my defense For every lost cause there are martyrs found Whore or Slave, Prince or Popper You told me that love makes the world go round You betrayed my trust Don’t say another sound One and the same, one and in shame Just forget about me If I see beyond the filthy horizon, what lays ahead of me?
