A swell
A flood
      a tidal wave
Rushed over me that night

Even though I could've died
Cowering
        with cold shivers
Under Royal blankets.
I cried
In the 15 degree
                howling
                scowling
City darkness;
It's knife to my throat

But when
  Oh when
The music poured
  Through amps
            Pierced the flesh
                Picked me up
Nothing beyond the sound and dreamstate-players 
                                              mattered

And when
  yes when
Mind
  Body
    Soul
      And desperation
Arrived in perfect harmony
                The world drowned in pure ecstasy

A strike to the drum
              the thunderstorm of the century
Caress the strings
              asphalt, fall to pieces
A hand around a microphone
              voice dripping with heaven's nectar

I was there
When Hell froze over..
But you
Weren't
When the world changed.

I cried.
