UnCrit'd Work "Ballad of the Band" 6 - 11 - 03
The tune echoes out
Of hollow caves it sounds
Amplified by the light it screams,
"These are my awakened dreams
out from the hollow ground
from here the void shouts"
As the crowd hears this roar
They rise up to heed the call
And they take up arms once again
As the tunes takeover, as they sink in
One by one they all will fall
Just as they did once before
Then a calm consumes the many
As a voice beckons to them all,
"I love you so, don’t go, don’t leave me here
I cannot endure, I cannot even bear without you here"
As they all absorb the pain and fall
The few, the strong, fall with the plenty
As the night drains the band
And all the songs have been sung
These last few words flowed from his tongue,
"We wouldn't be here without our fans"
