A murmur starts in the crowd
And crescendo’s to a mighty roar
Screams and cheers reach to the sky
And darkness prevails onstage
A thousand score eyes strain to see
A glimpse of life upon the stage
And see but shifting shadows
Flitting busily from place to place
Then from atop the stage
A trembling wail rises
As colored lights flood the stage
The crowd goes quiet
Tension builds higher
Excitement is tangible there

The music rises abruptly
Machine gun riffs roar
And solo guitars wail
The music throbs in the air
The crowd jumps and screams
And is quickly drowned
For the music is all
Consuming all it engulfs the crowd
