Can You Hear It?

Thump… thump thump
Can you hear it?

Thump… thump thump
It is my heart
and it is about to burst

All my life I have trained for this day
As a colt I was young and rebellious

Now… now I know what I am for
What I am made of

From the earth I was created
and to the earth I shall return
but for now… I am a storm

The rider upon my back is calm
for he knows me and I know him

All else is silent except the harmony of
our hearts…

Thump.. Thump Thump
Thump, thump, thump

When the bell sounds…
we are but an illusion.
