we let the monsters fall out of the fray
the cheers of watchers silent in the dark
no one knows now exactly what to say
this is a game that no one knows to play
we have forgotten just what is the spark
we let the monsters fall out of the fray
too easy here to let things go astray
the answer is not simple clear nor stark
no one knows now exactly what to say
shadows fall early on the western bay
and we see those who bear the ancient mark
we let the monsters fall out of the fray
this is not what we hoped at start of day
the kingdom of the hunter and the shark
no one knows now exactly what to say
we don't expect that anyone will stay
this world is not a safe and gentle park
we let the monsters fall out of the fray
no one knows now exactly what to say
(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
