The Rock
I have had visions of
terrible wisdom
that left me without
my defenses
shaken and naked I've
struggled for logic
to sheild me with boundaries
of reference
wisps of insight haunting
me, I see through shattered glass
straining to comprehend
images scattered beyond my grasp
and the Rock speaks in
tongues
to the beating of the
drum
the battle song is sung
the play begun
and I begin to run
I have had moments of
powerless torment
immoble, unable to function
suddenly helpless, alone
in my chaos
I've fallen, no sense
of direction
all around me, like a
trance, the dance of motion streams
fighting the spell I
have only my will and a silent scream
and the dream blurs and
fades
illusion falls away
I hear the music play,
and the angels say
do not be afraid
as the Rock speaks in
tongues
to the beating of the
drum
the battle song is sung
the play begun
