The Betrayal of Julius Caesar

My friend has sold me for silver!
When I needed you, you denied my name
You ran away when I called out for you
Brutus, Brutus, Brutus


Brutus, brutal brute!
You were the lover of my soul, yesterday.
We spoke of the enemies outside the wall of our embrace. Of common dreams
Today, you plotted my death. O that I never had lived than be killed by you …

Brutus, Brutus, come. Come quickly to me!
Perhaps they've made a mistake,
How now, my brother, can this treachery be?
Come now, let’s have wine and lie in this garden
Like in the old days when we were young
We'll play the lyre and plan on taking over the world
Who will be against us when we are arm in arm?


Beautiful Brutus.
Brave and burrowing enemy.
Brother.
You rained upon me blows of friendship and kisses of death
I was prepared for anything but you, old one
Had the night fallen suddenly, I would have sprung up from sleep to
Challenge her
But you ...you were my dove, the solace of my years,
Now I am desolate as God
For my light bearer, my Lucifer,
Has turned to darkness.

My blood is split, but for you .
