where the road went wrong

[fledgist]

 

we don't expect to fall in an abyss

the worst effects of change hit us so hard

we are not tempted when we know we miss

 

the worst that happens we think is a hiss

some sort of answer that we could discard

we don't expect to fall in an abyss

 

the journey we take should not end like this

in a sad place from which justice is barred

we are not tempted when we know we miss

 

we had thought matters were not quite amiss

but at the start all had been fully marred

we don't expect to fall in an abyss

 

the ending should have been in joy and bliss

instead we have only a jagged shard

we are not tempted when we know we miss

 

our full reward is just the traitor's kiss

and loss of all your honour and regard

we don't expect to fall in an abyss

we are not tempted when we know we miss
