I Promised You Heaven

I am the one they call Heroin
Known as the greatest destroyer of men
Where I began no-body really knows
Somewhere afar where red poppies grow
 
I have a brother his name is Coke
They call him Crack, but he is not a joke
We travel by land, air or sea
 Getting through customs quite easily
 
There are those who desire our destruction
They blame us for all crime and corruption
They tell you drugs will mess up your mind
And that we are a danger to mankind
 
But white or brown, whatever your pleasure
One tiny taste, we will have you forever
We take the rich men and make them poor
We are responsible for many a whore
 
We make beautiful people lose their looks
We even have pages in recipe books
From leaders of Countries to the lowest of bums
Just one taste and they are under our thumb
 
So inhale your pipe, deep into your lungs
Feel the power as we all become one
Our taste is bitter, yet oh so sweet!
Ecstasy flows from your head to your feet
 
We will control how often you feed
We know just how to satisfy your need
Don’t bother to run as you can’t win this race
As the rush we give you cannot be replaced

Your first is a gift; you do not have to buy
And we promise to take you really high
 We will stay with you every night and day
Be it in your classroom at school or when you’re at play
 
Wherever you are, we will find you
At home or work, whatever you may do
We just ask for you to give us a try
We promise to be loyal until the day you die
 
We will stay with you right to the end
You won’t be alone, as we are best friends
Imagine the story you will be able to tell
Of how I promised you heaven, but I took you to hell
