"There must have been some mistake
I didn't mean to let them take my soul
Am I too Old,is it too late?"
---Pink FLoyd(The Show Must Go On)
The Show, The booming acoustics, the Excited drumbeats, The ever-spiralling crescendos and de-crescendos
of life on stage...The Amplifiers Boom, the curtains lift ever so slowly,we're Impatient to begin...
Storm the crowd,Energy bursting forth, come on...come on...Louder...cheer us...We're on top of the world
.................Why are we so high on adrenaline? Its been hours...My muscles are aching...Can't go
on this way forever...suspended animation...I'm a stage bug...Don't I have another life? Everything's blurred
-The faces,the hopes,the dreams...I'm just a guitar-wielding tiring machine....I won't remember the next song,
No,I'm losing my grip,I will fail my fans...no...
"Where's the feeling gone? Will I remember the song?"
There, we are drawing to a close, slowly, the strumming gets gentler...we ease the pressure on the Vocal cords..
Its been hours...but sweeter hours never before....I can hear the reverberation from the walls...Our names...
our music...our notes...our beats...We're serene on top of the world...the adrenaline recedes...we're calmer now...
The last notes fade away...The echoes from the last cheer...Swansong...The curtains droop gently again...we disappear
In our last blaze of glory...We're gone,but our soul will haunt the stage forever...The show will never end..Even
when all the players disappear..even when the last man standing falls to his grave to rest....
"The Show Must Go On............."
