Whispers Her Last

Started out as a lark
just another of many
nothin to it but to do it...ya know?
All the pieces in place
the studies been done
gone over an over an over again.

Plan almost perfect
nothin left for chance
done deal, don't ya know?
We dancin thru the steps
on that ballroom floor
pieces start fallin out, just gone.

Never seen it comin
pieces of plan shattered
blindsided by fate, ya know?
Crew bleedin on the floor
crawlin for the door
plan like mist, settles still.

Started out as a lark
just another of many
gettin it done, don't ya know?
Random piece crashes in
busts it all to forever
lark bloody on the floor,
whispers her last...

You caught my attention and held it.  Good job on that - I can be a bit ADD sometimes.
