THE DEVIL IN HIS EYES

Folder: 
Non Military

You had me fooled for years
I really thought your were my mate
With you I would have marched to Hell
Or even the Pearly gate
You said I was like a bother
Then stabbed me in the back
I stood up for my comrade
When your were under attack
One day the penny dropped
Like a lightening bolt from the skies
I saw beneath your skin
“I SAW THE DEVIL IN YOUR EYES”
All those years of wasted false friendship
As you took me for a fool
I could have had a `real` friend
Been more than a useful tool
As I grew older I could see
What I was to your scheming plan
Just another pawn on your chess board
Not friend or comrade or even a man
I’ve moved on now not bitter
Just slightly more I’m wise
So thank you God for showing me
“THE DEVIL IN HIS EYES”
