To Rock On or to Rust
Chords scream and whine
Distorted, compressed
Amplified turbine
Forceful and stressed
A flurry of notes follows quickly behind
What say you dear friend?
What seems on your mind?
So urgent the message you need to send?
You follow melodically
A sound so electric
It’s speaks so methodically
Of thoughts too eclectic
What need have you got
To spill flash, glitz and fury
The sound you produce
Must say something, oh surly
Yet that’s not the case
Claims the voice from within
There is simply nothing here to misplace
Just the unholy noise that’s taken its place
A celebration of power
A party of lust
To shake and devour
To rock on or to rust

Wow. I LOVE that last part. Now, THAT’S rock & roll! Actually, I like the whole thing. The words are crisp and clean and it really rocks. Awesome. You are amazing! (“I always tell people that about you…”)
Just to be honest, I ripped the “Shake and Devour” line off from Judas Prient’s Love Bites, except their’s it “To trap and devour”.
