An old friend once told me
Of his favorite movies
A trilogy of classics he said
They won accolades
and made some careers
Becoming great masterpieces
But life moved along
And though I meant to see them
They slipped to the back of mind
Then came a day
When they passed my way
Now I can finally say
I watched Godfather
A sad sad story
I watched Godfather
In 4K glory
It was good but it was sad
Mike was good and Mike was bad
But mostly mad and lonely
I watched Godfather
Decisions and consequence
Loyalty betrayal
Unsavory choices
Horrors unveiled
Power without purpose
A throne in a circus
You traded your soul
For all that is worthless
This cycle of karma
Has you drowning in drama
Gasping for breath
In all of your armor
Awake in your sleep
Asleep while awake
Your fate is of that
And of all that you make
Dreams of chivalry
Now reek of misery
Can you find your peace in the end
Can you trust those you love
Can you love those you trust
When death is your only friend
Death is your only friend
I watched Godfather
A sad sad story
I watched Godfather
In 4K glory
It was good but it was sad
Mike was good and Mike was bad
But mostly mad and lonely
I watched Godfather
I watched Godfather
