Judas

Came in poor all unsteady, brother by your side I welcomed you in with my doors open wide At the CDL spot I gave you a chance Dinners and talks I advanced your stance Gave you a gig you and your bride On my own feet I let you ride Shared my tales of deceit and loss Never thought you'd double-cross Faith in my heart light from above I showed you guidance I offered love Oh Judas, in the game you played Silver faded but my faith stayed You tried to bring me down to dust Forgot in God the one I trust Oh Judas with a serpent's kiss Betrayed me for a fleeting bliss You thought you'd win but lost so much Crossed the wrong man felt the touch I saw your potential gave you my word Backed you up but it all got blurred Money came in your eyes turned green Jealousy grew unseen and mean You sneaked around plotted with stealth Aiming at my position my wealth Behind my back with my close ties Stole my peace under friendly skies Poison in food curses to cast Thought you'd break me make me an outcast Oh Judas in the game you played Silver faded but my faith stayed You tried to bring me down to dust Forgot in God the one I trust Oh Judas with a serpent's kiss Betrayed me for a fleeting bliss You thought you'd win but lost so much Crossed the wrong man felt the touch But I'm surrounded not by fear, but might Higher powers that fight the fight Your dark arts just sparks in rain Can't touch my soul, can't bring the pain I moved strategic left the snakes behind Your own demise soon you'll find For cheap silver you sold your fate Lost your golden plate sealed by hate Midas touch gone with curses you brew I walk in light far away from you Oh Judas in the game you played Silver faded but my faith stayed You tried to bring me down to dust Forgot in God the one I trust Oh Judas with a serpent's kiss Betrayed me for a fleeting bliss You thought you'd win but lost so much Crossed the wrong man felt the touch Even in darkness some lessons are learned Trust is precious not easily earned Judas, your betrayal just a footnote in my path I'll rise from ashes you face the aftermath
