Surrounded

Surrounded

The rifles levelled in my direction
You push your way to me
Your face shining
With barely hidden glee

I am yours
I see it now.

Surrounded.
Kneeling on this cold hard floor
On the bridge, amidst the gore
"You are under arrest!"
In the name of the Empire,
Imperial law.
Oh, haven't I heard this before?

Surrounded.
Your blaster to my head
I resign myself to only fate
Close my eyes
Wait for my soul to fly

Surrounded.
Angels bear me to cloud nine
I must have died
Did I even cry?
The light shining bright
Soft winds blowing by
I am home, I am safe
I am fine.

Surrounded.
Many machines - thousand screens
Wavy lines, electric green
Signs of life
I am alive.

Surrounded.
You are here
Trapping me with your cold stare
Can't run anywhere
I am
Surrounded.
