If only I was better
If only I was better than the man with the sword
Piercing through flesh and bones as far as my words
Reaching for the heart
As I reach for the soul
Thus a life is torn apart
And I maketh a life unwhole
If only I was better than him with a sceptre and crown
As I own some few dime
Marching upon thousands of bowing crowd
As I bask in my own sublime
He's inebriated on his power
Am drunk on brewed grape every hour
Costing the growing hungrys breathing about me
So does he pay his heed to just he
If only I was better
Maybe I could say to know better
And save the ground I stand on when I curse
At reining in of justice and not be hedged in no hearse
Share the fate of my foe
As the wrath of justice tow
