Raucous entrance to the show

The true idols raise a clamour

*

The stage draws intense attention from

The throng of paying followers

*

Are they fighting or laughing

Into this

heightened, eager night?

*

Smashing drums answer

Digging into a loud roll

Four fast guitar chords

blaze holes in the crowd’s

resilient soul and minds

*

“I want you tonight”

Melodic words pour

into the hot mix

“Every thought in your head

Every beat of your heart

Let’s rock out tonight

This is how we start”

*

Searing ax-notes picked quickly

slide through the roaring audience

Lighting a TNT wick

that meets with a heavy stringed bass

*

Melodic rivers and

Pounding snare are anchored in

gripping, deep bass drums

*

Suddenly

the bold sharp singing voice

Reaches out to the world again

*

“I need for your life to be alright

Because you are my world

I want you to love

Each sound and sight

Feel the best

We have the night”

*

The hours charge by fast

Suddenly we’re at

the final encore 

*

“We want you more and more

Take us with you

wherever you go”

And with that

the roof comes down

*

Then they added one more show

*

“I want you tonight”

Melodic words pour into the mic

“Every thought in your head

Every ghost in your soul

Let’s rock out alright

This is how we roll”

*

Repeating crescendos hit

Cymbals fall to bits

And the wailing guitars ring

Like the sound of traffic

into the wilderness

Echoing amidst the sirens

Vehicles and

street lights shining bright

*

The curtains close

The last

song in the set Is superimposed
