An ally in exile receives an urgent dispatch | |
When he’s already in trouble, unable to relax | |
He recognises the cipher, quickly resolves the code | |
The contents of the message, state, area and road | |
It was as he’d feared, his cover’s been blown | |
The extent of the network is now overblown | |
Overgrown, the apparatus for such an unwelcome event | |
Incommunicado, the last word is sent | |
He knows that resistance is futile | |
But still he prepares for arrivals | |
He sits perfectly still | |
Resistance is futile | |
He awaits the kill | |
He prepares the arrival | |
He’s perfectly still | |
Resistance is futile | |
On arrival for the kill | |
He breaks down in this theatre, but hopes not under these lights | |
Specifically those which gain strategic insights | |
By the best of good fortune, he had provisions in store | |
He doubles, then trebles the locks on his door |
