Act Two of our Tragedy

by StandStill   Aug 24, 2008


The princess is up inside her tower,
can you see, this scene is set?
The clock is ticking to the curtain,
and nobody is ready quite yet.

Red veils are lifting faster,
seconds sprint by as the curtain calls.
House lights up and here we go now..
Act Two, our hero falls.

He's running just a little fast now...
tripping down upon his toes.
Oh, darling, we aren't prepared for this...
and princess screams that no one knows.

Disbelief is unsuspended,
and the curtains slam down around our heads.
Oh, what happens to the princess, darling?
When the hero's fake and nearly dead.

Show is over, we've all failed now;
thank you one, and thank you all.
Rain checks for this tragedy...
out, down, lost...there is no curtain call.
