Cicada

Floating high upon a string A universe inside the wind A cacophony An orchestra in flight Ring the sound we long to hear Rising through the atmosphere Listen well and hear their call tonight You hear them shout You hear them shout I hear them every night They echo into sight They sound the symphony A song so deafening They circle far and wide And in your mind define Beneath the hollow sun Cicada has begun I hear them every night They echo into sight They sound the symphony A song so deafening They circle far and wide And in your mind define Beneath the hollow sun Cicada has begun Year-on-year beneath the ground Now's the time to make your sound Ancient bells to ring forevermore From the muse, a gift of light Sing the music of the night A euphony as sweet as cellar door I hear them every night They echo into sight They sound the symphony A song so deafening They circle far and wide And in your mind define Beneath the hollow sun Cicada has begun I hear them every night They echo into sight They sound the symphony A song so deafening They circle far and wide And in your mind define Beneath the hollow sun Cicada has begun
