how will it end

Eva Cassidy

The thousand pictures
Moving across the screen
The motion etched into each passing scene
People around you
Waiting eagerly
For the horror or the laughter they will see
Is it really happening
Or is it fantasy
How will it end

A brave man listens in overhead
His eyes roll back
When he hears what is said
His old enemy is planning his demise
An ambush to take him by surprise
Can he stop the fugitives
Or will he end up dead
How will it end

Trapped in the back of an alley
Nowhere to run
He counts his enemies
And reaches for his gun
Can he do the impossible
Or is this where he dies
How will it end
