Those chords of life struck their beat
Narrating the chaos of defeat
Taken away from the lyrical world
The dancing notes careened and twirled
Ten thousand strong, not a tone in place
Destroying the melody, rhythm and bass
I watched so avid of the despair
Existence striped down; totally bare
The music had fled from our treasured hearts
Taking life with it, crashing the charts
No life no soul without a song to sing
No joy no laughter for melody to bring
Torn apart from that taken for granted
Left just shadows of the once enchanted
Reality had no reason
We were doomed to defeat
All as the chords of life
Struck their beat
