Far away
Far away
I heard a heavy rock rolling
Then
Quickly
Harshly
Vigorously and fiercely
It roared up to my eardrum
I felt like dancing
I hadn't yet made up my mind
The earth had me dance instead
Drum rhythms
Drumbeats
Just too quick to dissect
First a kick
Second two
Abruptly and unexpectedly
All the set sounds were on the air
I heard a scream from far away
And another closer
Another even closer
Hence a crowdy noise invaded me
Metal
Human
Rocky and ocean noise
All of a sudden
All sounds were twisted together
In a snap
My world was a murk
Noise pollution's everywhere
Red
Black
Orange
Blue and dust
There is no silent place
It came from the center of the earth
As if from the center of my heart
And then the center of my mind
Close
Close
Close, close, close
Now I hear it in my mind
