restoring the outcome

you want to name the moment of the fall
but cannot wait to see when we must rise
that's not enough to halt the needed call

so when you see us break up the last brawl
there's nothing left here for you to despise
you want to name the moment of the fall

out of the darkness no more insects crawl
there's silence coming from your vaunted spies
that's not enough to halt the needed call

you needled us to act and hoped we'd stall
confused by all the horrors and the lies
you want to name the moment of the fall

the monster's hidden by a coloured shawl
and does not seem a terror to our eyes
that's not enough to halt the needed call

this is the time when we must leave the hall
and ask the victim to reclaim the prize
you want to name the moment of the fall
that's not enough to halt the needed call
