No demo for this. I have a plane to catch! Or there might have been a third verse.
It's my reaction to he headlines yesterday and today
CHORUS
It's the beginning of the end, old friend
This whole damn thing has reached its end
There are powers out there that we can't comprehend
It seems it's the beginning of the end, old friend
The conflict starts with an ego bruised
A feeling that you have been abused
Then comes the lies of which you've been accused
The conflict starts with an ego bruised
CHORUS
The battle begins when you've run out of lies
The pretence is ended you've come to despise
Those you claim to have been your allies
The battle begins when you've run out of lies
BRIDGE
Will it ever end this never ending struggle
To be the cock of the farmyard in the end?
What will you gain if the fox has ate the chickens?
Will your ego say that's enough dividend?
CHORUS

So powerful and spot on.

Powerful words Berni. Truth has been told here about the web of lies.
@tunecat Feb 2022
Yeah. Wow. That’s it exactly!
@porrectus Feb 2022
Nice work. Those are powerful words in line with the time. Sadly in line with a lot of times. Well done

The battle begins when you've run out of lies
a great line but in this case the lies have only begun
@tukayandryan Feb 2022
Powerful stuff Berni. Beautifully written lyrics.
@sheslin Feb 2022
A sad state of affairs so very well captured by your powerful lyrics. I am really looking forward to hearing this one. Safe travels!
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Good lyric. Do you want music?
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
So sad yes. We will never learn from past mistakes as a human race. And we must remember, some leaders do not represent their countries citizens, they are on their own ego rampage :(
Your lyric sums it up very well.
I'd be interested in lyrically collabing with you on this one, if you want to take it further ?
