And you thought you were invited
That you could ring the Bell
That you had been accepted
By the leader of the ring whose influence was sure to bringLiars and cheats
To your feetBestowed upon your being
The very smile that made you real
The very reason to stand upright
A commendation that took years of petty fights and stinging tearsSpace trash satellites
Trying to catch the sun tonight
But on arrival you are slighted
With the subtlest of grins
Cause the cousin & the confidante
Will never let you win
It's just too thin this skin you're inWell come out of your hiding spot
We all know that you're there
And we're wondering is this really all you've got?
As you barter with your fists and leave us taking all the risksSycophants & Sidekicks
Taking out the new tricksAnd when you finally are granted
This position of command
Do you really want to stay here?
In the company of the damned as they prepare to take your handTorment with true ambition
Even eating is a competition
Maybe I would understand more
If I was underhand
And waited by the side-lines
To trip her up and watch her land
But I do not crave calamity - no
I can only stand and stare
And wonder what she'll do when
There's no one left to spare
So lonely in her lair
