Song Description

Retribution, Lies, Back-stabbing, Ulterior Motivations, Betrayal

Lyrics

Treason and trickery, a gutted reaction
A natural response to deliberate deception
The mind of a victim foiled and fooled
A knife in the back, there are no rules

History repeats, we've seen it before
Yet no-one does speak of this natural law
Out of the boundaries of social containment
The aggressor is gripped in the realm of estrangement

Injustice and rage colours the act
The hurt in the past cements the pact
"Feel my pain, suffer some more"
It's more of the same of this natural law

Victim betrayed can't comprehend
Ulterior motives, projected revenge
So blind and naive, suspicion arises
And fuels the fire of this natural crisis

Victim enraged and comes to abhor
The sickening truth of this natural law
Long memories hold fast and are not soon forgot
Stir up the past and sets in the rot

Looked over, ignored, a futile prognosis
The aggressor has reason to narrowly focus
The truth can be sombre, rugged and raw
Can't close our eyes to this natural law

To offer an answer for some resolution
Would be foolish and false for I see no solution
We slip and we slide in relative pain
And there will be more, more of the same

Awareness can help but we can't be sure
That we can rewrite this natural law
That we can rewrite this natural law
