the ones who panic you would not abhor
say something simple to those who escape
another victim soon comes through the door
the story never leaves you wanting more
nor is there any message on the tape
the ones who panic you would not abhor
someone thinks this a case of keeping score
and knowing how to bend the proper shape
another victim soon comes through the door
you do not let us quickly reach the fore
and watch the hasty servants bow and scrape
the ones who panic you would not abhor
this is the idol that we would adore
and that is while the spectators all gape
another victim soon comes through the door
the ending is in peace and not in war
we keep the secret of the naked ape
the ones who panic you would not abhor
another victim soon comes through the door
(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
