Horns ring in harmony, true
The conductor sings the score
Adding the strings; cry a melody blue
The depths of my soul explored
With a sweeping pivot, the lights dim red
Sweet and supple, no more
To the slaughter, the cattle are led
Harmony butchered by discord
A gust of wind, bellowing fire
In suspense, imprisoned sustain
Percussion accents a cacophony of ire
A life of unending refrain
An unresolved chord sweats desire
Dissonance: all that remains
