We'll Soon Be Dust

Heaven knows we'll soon be dust
And your wealth shall all be lost.
.
Who could admit the folly on Olympus?
Who could quench forever the
thirst of Zeus' sexual lust.
Who could stop Hera from
being so jealous?
Why should Hades be so greedy.

All these I do not know.

But a man must learn to extend
his love.
For tomorrow, there shall be no
World we could call our own.

I Was Born In Hell And Fire

Black Jesus;
Redeem my black soul
I was born in hell and fire,
Will you condemn me to another?
If you knew my story,
I'm sure you'd be sorry.
A boy who knew no father,
Just a hapless mother.
How far could she go?
With those burden left for her alone.
Holy White Jesus,
Will you hear my supplication?
I was born in hell and fire,
Will you condemn me to another?

Sinners Like Me

Sinners like me,
Listen;
If you should go
There before me
Tell Hades not to
Hope for my coming.
.
There is a place, up there
In the sky, fathers abode
I want to go,
From where I was
Brought to my
Mothers home.
.
Though the
Corruption of time
Has had me
Grown so big, that
I'm afraid I may not
Anymore be able to

Time is on my Side

On times lap I soar
To a sight
Far beyond my height,
I have many years ahead
Time is on my side my dear
The lightning flashes
And the thunder roars.
Also the lions on he world
They roar
And leaped at me in rage
But still I live my dear.
I will never die until I reach my age
Time will be by me.
.
Time is on my side my dear
On times back I ride
To a sight far beyond my height.

Yesterday I fell in love

And my love taken

My heart is been
Stolen
But with my concent

The Man Died

The man died and died and died
And finally the man died!
People killed the man severally
Before the man finally died
The mans family labelled
The man dead.
The community labelled
The man dead
.
And above all the man saw in Himself a living ghost
And had since decayed and rotted inside
That not even the warmt
Of a living blood
Could've been enough
To bring the man back
To life again.

Please Leave Behind My Heart

My runaway bride,
Before you leave my house,
Just to leave behind my heart.
You can forget the price
I paid for your hand;
The ones I gave your mother
For your sake.
If only I knew you were fake.
Your father too,
He ate from my sweat.
And my wealth I showered
On your friends.
I am not asking to be given back
The price I paid.
But just to leave behind my heart
As you leave my house.

I dont believe in love anymore

I cant fall in love anymore
Cause I dont believe in love anymore.
Why does love leave one so
Broken hearted again and again
When all you want from love
Is happiness, and care, and tenderness.
If love cannot bring me happiness,
Then I don't need to fall in love again.
I gave love
But what did I get in return; Scorn
Even from the one I sacrificed my
Time, money, my life, and my everything.

Your Heart is Cold [ for sake of rhyme]

Your heart is cold,
Honey did you drink coke?
I've had my heart sold,
How much can you pay?
I can get it back for your sake.
No one else can feel this
But I love you miss
Baby you just have to trust me
I can't be a player,
And you know I'm no footballer
I just want to be your lover
No matter the weather
Good or bad
With you will I stand.
Never will I leave your side
Whatever the price.

I need You Forever

Six o'clock in the morning
I'm here at your window,
I think of you every morning.
Is it too late for love,
Are you still alone,
Have you given up on love?
Age is nothing but numbers!
If we are together,
You won't be alone.
Can you still hear my voice now?
I am at your window.
I want to tell you I need you forever
And I will leave you never.
Would you come closer
And let us love forever.
