The Office Siege

[Verse] In the morn’ we gather Steel mugs in hand Rank and file in lines Just as planned Cubicles our castles Where dreams are slow Within walls of beige The river don't flow [Verse 2] The open space A battlefield laid bare Whispered secrets Like an old minstrel's fare Quests for glory In tasks we meet Endless scrolls and scrolls Defeat's bitter sweet [Chorus] Office knights in ties and heels Face Mondays like the coldest steel Battling screens and paper piles Cloaked in weariness and fleeting smiles [Verse 3] The chieftain calls in meetings long With voices droning like a bard's weak song Numbers flash like swords of yore On dragon screens We wage our lore [Verse 4] Break room banter in vesper’s hush A brief respite Yet shadows crush Microwave hums our solace be From drudgery's grip we momentarily flee [Bridge] And in the end As dusk descends Another Monday to defend We march back home Into the night Until the dawn calls for the fight
