the velvet voices

i'll play upon my violin

until the mountains ring

of lonely laughter blindly thrown

across an endless arc of strings

and the skies are sad

they're dancin' to a silent symphony

and the velvet voices all shall join

the singing

the hall is filled to every corner

by a tinkling hint of chimes

a melody careens and crumbles

leaving just a trace behind

a rhythm faintly fails

the silver on it's wings

and the velvet voices all shall join

the singing

the cymbals flash

the drums they crash

the trumpets rise to song

the brass baton plucks bits diamonds

from a glittering wall of almost dawn

the crystal chords they slash the wind

in humble majesty

and the velvet voices all shall join

the singing
