I heard them dancing
Crazed and overflowing
With savage jubilation

My thoughts were carnivorous
A ceaseless thundering
The scourge
Of my fraying skull

I stirred faithful
Drawn to their reckless tune
With limbs, compromised
And true to their beck and call

Ear-splitting mayhem
Had filled my every nerve
Thieving my urge to sleep

Hoisting high
My cause to fear
To tremble
In league with hysteria
