Uriah Hamilton - The Upper Hand

Uriah Hamilton - The Upper Hand

I crouch like a lion br Lurking for unsuspecting prey, br Patience is the key: br I’m willing to wait for eternity br For the tables to be turned, br To come into my own, br To taste the sweet wine br Of perfectly aged revenge… br Previously, I’ve filled my gullet br With humiliation, br I’ve been submerged br In the sewer of defeat. br br The day is coming br When I will laugh like a hyena br And dance like a jackal br When I see those br Who organized br My supposed demise br Gazing at me like Lazarus br Risen from the dead! br I’ll watch them gnash their teeth br On the hard words they hurled at me br When I was a clown br On freakish, circus streets br After I ascend br To the throne of power br Like a revolutionary br Leading a peasant revolt br Or a forgotten prince br Cutting the reigning king’s throat… br br I will gain the upper hand br Before I smile in my grave.
