I Heard You Tell A Lie
By: Kevin Siervo
I
I heard you tell a lie
They got all deceived
And I wanted you to die.
II
From the fraud words you’ve said
Broke the vows, fooled the white.
I heard you tell a lie.
III
It ruined their minds
Lost their patience and feared the light
And I wanted you to die.
IV
Shut the door and don’t you dare
To teach the youth with wickedness
I heard you tell a lie.
V
And reckoning will be yours by time.
Because of the truth you’ve denied
And I wanted you to die.
VI
In the eyes of innocence
You’re the winner but to Him a sinner
I heard you tell a lie
And I wanted you to die.
