The Sounding Line - A Whisper In The Noise

will this imprint last forever

will the centuries erode

everyone and everything you knew before

through the distant coming echoes

sounding oh so cold and crass

did you hear the sounding line

don’t speak too soon

you’re driving blind

heading for a curve

through the cameras at my distance

I saw a songbird lost in heat

trembling, like I never saw before

don’t speak too soon

the consequence will come down

in a burning fire of rain

don’t wait too long

the aftermath

will hit you like a biblical device

on man

will this imprint last forever

will the centuries erode

everyone and everything you knew before
