The Fire and The Sound
Scramble/
Avert your eyes/
If I amble by/
While I hide my tattoos/
And curse the sky/
"Ashes to ashes"/
It supplies no replies/
As fire and sound/
Crowd around me/
Cloud and drown me/
Shroud and bound me/
Somebody screams loudly/
As the ground gives away around me./
I seem to fall forever/
Although as light as a feather/
I somehow place my hands together/
And they never sever./
Focus the mind, blurred/
Meditation, concentration/
Aberration, Confirmed./
it's an infatuation/
that's mostly in my imagination/
I slow to a stop, Levitation,/
Ignoring all the laws of gravitation/
I could float here endlessly/
Wondering what the end will be/
I open my eyes/
The white light, it blinds me/
I could float here endlessly/
And die here pleasantly/
Its promising, quite comforting/
i could flee, be my own comfort king/
Kill those demons/
and feed that sting./
what felt like a minute/
in reality is an hour/
but when in pursuit of great truth/
In pursuit of great power/
the time flies by/
and i slowly open my eyes again/
to find the white lights gone/
but the fire and the sound still rages on./
