The Composition of Cacophony's Song by Neavir
Runner Up for October 2006
A subtle strum on a silvery string
brings about echoes of shadows set forth to spring
From the fingertips of mine own hand
the lyrics therein dance about the land
The powerful words that accompany the tune
screaming forth madness to bay at the moon
A slight little shift to change the key
leaves the listeners laughing, abandonment's glee
Deepening the notes the octaves dip low
horrible moans, a physical blow
Upon which, we soar to chimes high
the ear-piercing tones making even stone cry
Returning to which, the tones that began
our song forthwith becoming quite wan
A soaring arpeggio winds the song down
the playing a reminder of what has been found
During such time we play a conclusionary note
through which we end this recital from rote
