Everybody Knows
Inspired by the legendary Leonard Cohen.
Everybody knows The masks are slipping Evil is making a public appearance It can’t be contained much longer Everybody knows They sold us out to the highest bidder Power and greed play the leading role In this farce they want us to believe Everybody knows Depravity dressed up as human No crown can hide the grotesque Evil needs evil deeds Everybody knows We’ve been put under a spell By their ritual incantations Lies told and believed for centuries Everybody knows Helel won’t be denied recognition The obscene desires worship Exposing the liars kneeling at his feet Everybody knows We are mesmerized by the debauchery Their wicked ways slowly unveiled Mammon demands a sacrifice Everybody knows The fights are fixed, the outcomes rigged The masks are slipping Everybody knows
Your words and cadence are beautiful and intense. I believe good ultimately prevails, but my gosh the depth and breadth of evil…
The great inevitability - love prevails.
