the cadence calls!

the cadence calls!

the cadence calls!

run from your tvs

and join up!

don't you see?

don't you see

the still blood

on bloated cheeks?

eyes of flies

a feast

among grief

and where were you?

join up! join up!

the cadence calls!

before you

all the proof

the fingers torn

and voices

stretched taut!

burning and babies

and dust

where were you?

just where were you?

join up! join up!

the cadence calls!

yep yep

this one pretty much rquires being read aloud. kind of a cheesy crowd stirring voice, rabble rousing, while poking at it simultaneously. but this is one i've been looking to improve. thx. t_f
