Sonic Wind, honing in, on a tune that no one can
hear
perfect pitch, simple glitch, promises it
would never
appear
in the skies
(disguised)

Change in direction where
birds never fly nor roam
lie 'neath green
valleys and wait for the call to
come

Firetail bats, poised to attack
to
set ablaze the rafters and the roofs
until the
plan leaves the hand
burns the site down to
the ground
through the ground

Craters
are carving and wounds are left to weep
sink
to the table filtering through the
years
closing behind the nightmarish fears
that run deep
down in green valleys wait for
the call to come
when it's all over and the
empty quarter
returns to the emptiness
again

5000 miles over airplane
graveyards
landmass oceans wide. over
continents
a sonic wind honing in on a tune no
one can hear
perfect pitch, simple glitch,
promises...
over the skies - in
disguise

Change in direction
a sonic
wind is blowing
and the fire it is
burning
down in green valleys where birds
never fly nor roam
over airplane graveyards,
wait for the call to come
and the sonic wind
is whistling
