30 Pieces Of Silver

By: grayday104
Written on January 6th, 2013
30 pieces of silver that's the way I'm sold
30 pieces of silver should've asked for gold
Silver in coin for what i lack
a bought man's repents for what he can't get back
My name will forever go down like Mudd
Pieces of silver shame and blood
Pieces of silver greed and gain
i sold my soul and brought another pain
Silver not spent cursed stone
Among betrayers my name's at home

So long yeah it's been nice
The flames my fire taking paradise
My fiddle playing as I watch it all burn
Contempt from their pain is why I'll be spurned
A fire sweep here torching what's old
Forever these flames will brand me as cold
A pyro in power these Christians burn bright
Hearing their screams as life loses light

I deal in arms but not by yours sleeves
I supply the bullets for any means
Just have the cash and I'll show my stock
No shooting the supplier if you want more shots
Just gimme the green and I'll flee the scene
After riches not magic beans
Don't care who's hurt don't care the cost
Getting my gold while it can still be got
Making my way off pain and lead
I get by from  robbing the dead


Bad men and bastards here narrating their lives
Forever to remembered as sinners and slime

      Hikerman is number one. WasRD is the best female poet. Tigermoth1234 writes the best love poetry. All are in my circle. You are probably the best for your age. NO. You most certainly are! Love you. oxoox
