The Tempest Song

Announced
my penalty has come
cloak the sun.
A breeze begins this tune.
opening strains of tambourine's vigor
send throughout the heavens
dance my chimes
rustle the branches
my nerves too
T'is the prelude of my demise
My lord is angry

The winds,
God's band of angels
twirling gypsies
sing my blood to curdle
soprano gails swoop and soar
with energy an vibrancy
of the upper reaches of their octaves
moving dandelions on a voyage
bend back blades of grass to their melody
my lord is angry
angry

Celestial regions
smokey
gloomy
and moody too.
waltz in rythmic swirls
to the tune that has twisted
sharp and aggressive
crying banshees rattle my door
There is no safe haven
my lord is angry
oh so angry.

Lightning bolts
from the storm clouds that brewed
streak across the sky
with unpredictable flashes
with blinding brightness
baritone shouts of thunder
sound with loud bangs,
symbol crashes and roars
trigger legions of chills down my spine
angry
angry
angry
my lord is

Angry, yet he weeps
a multitude of tears
seen spilling over the horizon
like a toppled well of ink
drowning everything in its path
Im done howling
Im done growling
is trumpeting in bass
the beast has made his entry

Picking of houses
like a thief in the night,
flinging tractors like toys,
his mercy is lost
please find it soon
I see you near
my lord is angry
But repent,
I will NOT!

Therefore you shatter my windows
collapse my abode and...
Good morning, you've just listened to
Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor
on WBJC, Baltimore's only classical station.
