Penetrated lines of a criminal cabal
Intention was to stop it from the start
Discovered they were gonna make him take the fall
Did what he could to tear it all apart
As they laid a trail to frame our gallant non-assassin
He began to leave his own to map the truth
House of mirrors, planted figments of a patsy
They never thought he’d be so damned astute
Not your whipping boy
No cynical communist plotter
Of your fascist ploy
We’re all lambs to the slaughter
Lone wolf in the doorway
There in plain sight
One less shooter, there to portray
Truth against might
At the top of the stairway
For this he gave his life
Tell the story if you dare say
Of a hero’s plight
Made a call to the feds about a northern plot
Bought democracy some extra days of life
Learned the hard way, the scheme went all the way to the top
Only played along to spare his kids and wife
The day our noble leader’s life was cut short
He had a few more tricks left up his sleeve
Joined up with a team, a mission to abort
But they couldn’t stop the wheel of treachery
Tell the story if you dare say
Finish the fight
