Disclaimer: I own nothing; not the characters involved in this, and not the song it's based on.
This songfic is told by a survivor of one of Ratchet's attacks. He tells the story through song. It is based on the song "25 or 6 to 4", by Chicago. Feel free to sing along. The original words are under the made up ones in Italics. Some of the original words will already be in the song.
Lying Helpless on the Floor
By Sarge11
Waiting for the fatal day, destroying all that's in his way.
Exploding lights against the sky, giving up I run and hide.
Ducking down behind a door- lying helpless on the floor.
Waiting for the break of day, searching for something to say.
Flashing lights against the sky, giving up I close my eyes.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor- 25 or 6 to 4.
Staring down his gun's barrel, full aware of my peril.
Wanting just to stay alive, wondering how I will survive.
Should I try to fight some more- lying helpless on the floor.
Staring blindly into space, getting up to splash my face.
Wanting just to stay awake, wondering how much I can take.
Should I try to do some more- 25 or 6 to 4.
Feeling like I should be dead, a piece of shrapnel in my head.
Destroying all that's in his way, waiting for the fatal day.
Lying helpless on the floor- lying helpless on the floor.
Feeling like I ought to sleep, spinning room is sinking deep.
Searching for something to say, waiting for the break of day.
25 or 6 to 4- 25 or 6 to 4.
