Doubles & Trebles |
| An ally in exile receives an urgent dispatch |
| When he’s already in trouble, unable to relax |
| He recognises the cipher, quickly resolves the code |
| The contents of the message, state, area and road |
| It was as he’d feared, his cover’s been blown |
| The extent of the network is now overblown |
| Overgrown, the apparatus for such an unwelcome event |
| Incommunicado, the last word is sent |
| He knows that resistance is futile |
| But still he prepares for arrivals |
| He sits perfectly still |
| Resistance is futile |
| He awaits the kill |
| He prepares the arrival |
| He’s perfectly still |
| Resistance is futile |
| On arrival for the kill |
| He breaks down in this theatre, but hopes not under these lights |
| Specifically those which gain strategic insights |
| By the best of good fortune, he had provisions in store |
| He doubles, then trebles the locks on his door |
