Sleepers - Galahad

Hiding in the the catacombs

Lying low in the labyrinths

Beneath the shattered city streets

The sleepers lie in wait

Taking improbable chances

When opportunities arise

Pitching wits against selected hits

Never toeing official lines

Infiltrate.

agitate, exacerbate, manipulate

Eradicate, decimate, retaliate, annihilate

We will never surrender

Men, women and children

From every walk of life

Using any means available with which to fight

Proudly preserving the integrity of their nation

Vichy France could never be our ultimate identity

Never

Invalidate, facilitate, emancipate, consolidate

Identify, rectify, pacify, unify

Our spirit never shall be broken

Watch out

Take cover

Someone’s been talking

They’re on their way

They’re armed to the teeth

Machine guns on motor bikes

A Panzer division

Crawling with soldiers in broad daylight

No subtlety here

Our daily injection of fear

I want you to search

Every nook and cranny high and low

To flush out these rebels and deal with them accordingly

Quick return once again to the secret passages

Candlelight in hand, Safe and Sound, Gone to Ground

Keep the noise down… Sssh!

Outmanoeuvred once again

Ha!

ha!

ha!

ha!

ha!

hee!

hee!

hee!

hee!

hee!

We will yet be free!

Foiled again, foiled again

You’ve been recalled again

Gabardines and greatcoats

Mingle in the shadows

Animated figures, of dubious origins

Loiter in the corners

Looking for the fallers

Stench of cigarettes hangs heavy in the air

Stella slips slowly through nervous throats

Who is who?

Nobody knows

Who is who?

Nobody knows

Informers, incognito

Heroes and martyrs to be

Shuffle, avoiding the enemy

Everybody is under cover

Everyone is wary of each other

Who is who?

Nobody knows

Who is who?

Another pale moon rises

Another blood red sun sets

Another hard day gone

Another nervous night to come

Survival guaranteed

At least until tomorrow

Who knows what a new dawn will bring

A New Era?

All becomes clearer

In the end
