Torn by the Claws of Sound

Torn by the claws of sound
Torn by the claws of sound

I recognize the crowd from the old photographs
Exploring religions and poring through tracts
Their backs are being pushed up against the wall of their dreams
But no one reacts

The professionals are unlicensed to practice this dangerous game
Destruction reframed as a serious need
I just want to communicate the value of avoiding danger
But that’s a warning that no one will heed

No one will heed
Oh
Torn by the claws of sound
Torn by the claws of sound
