“Slowly the earth shatters around me
As the floods pour in
I wipe away the sorrow from the rain
It has no bow to make it bright
The slit within the soul tares at the strings
Rhythmic silence for all to hear
But today’s the day I find the way
To turn it up to eleven
Make it known throughout the land
That you can’t keep a good dog down
Turn up the noise, keep it booming
Fade the silence into oblivion, mending tapered wings”
