End of the Road
End of
the Road
Have the wages of sin totted up,
Has the piper been paid?
Can you call your spy master,
Will he come to your aid?
Have you more secrets,
That you can unload,
Or have you come to the end of the road?
Do the backers sound loudly,
But then fail to show?
Do you have to keep begging,
You can no longer borrow?
Are there less and less minions,
That respond to your goad,
And are you come to the end of the road?
You once climbed the heights,
But you took a hard fall,
Not enough soiled knights
Came to your call.
There’s few left to spite,
And even more that are owed,
Can you feel your confidence erode?
Have you fumbled some chance,
You thought you saw,
Do you still seek to dance,
Then walk away from the law?
Will you try to bargain,
With info still stowed,
Or do you think it’s the end of the road?
You once climbed the heights,
But you took a hard fall,
Not enough soiled knights
Came to your call.
There’s few left to spite,
And even more that are owed,
Can you feel your confidence erode?
Are you at the end of the road?
Is this the end of the road?
