Act II - Scene 2: “The Battle” Lyrics

Time to face the actuality

In this room emotion take hold of my body and being

Falling on down to the hard floor

Crying

Pounding hands

Stop I cannot take anymore

His lifeless body a token of severance

Strange becoming's seek out all the evidence

There's nothing I can do

Panic is setting in

Throwing the chairs aside

Forefront of rage in motion

The body is breaking down

Cannot move

Cannot speak

The situation comes to a head

Hours feel like a stopped watch

Can this ever be reversed?

Sweating

Shaking

Look what I have done

This all will not bring him back

Overcoming this adversity

Gaining my composure

And I see what I have done

The chess piece on the floor

A clue of where it all begun

Recollections

Of the calls for help

Negligence

Of a broken man

The crying out

Now makes sense

A precious bond

Has ceased to commence

Where was I

In all this

A friend in need

Easily dismissed
