thunder lizards on the horizon
subtle shaking as they roam closer
stark technicolor nightmares
viscera
a low upright bass off scene
buh doom boom boom boom boom boom boom
buh doom boom boom boom
fingers run down the ivory keys
the tyrannosaurus snaps
a brush across the cymbal
nostrils flared
the scent of prey on the wind
he turns
a shrill trumpet sounds
the smaller creatures bounce along to the bass into the underbrush
on the notes of disharmonious saxophones swoops a pterodactyl
a sweep of the keys
the trumpet sounds
all the while the bass line grows in intensity
a stampede of anklyosaurs rumble across the field
the brass counts down brazen chaos
all the while the upright bass holds the line
buh doom boom boom boom boom boom
boom
buh doom boom boom boom
the clouds part
as the sky fills with fire the percussion mallets roll across the kettle drum
tinkling keys like shards of stone from space tumbling into the atmosphere
the brass erupts
the bass speeds up
tinkling keys become kick drum impact
heads thrown to the sky in challenge
a comet flares across the sky
the kettle drum reaches crescendo at the height of the brass tornado
a storm of notes and scales
the bass line fades but plucks ever silently on
dust flares
encompassing all
the muddled music stops all but the hi hat and slowly increasing volume of the bass
buh doom boom boom boom boom boom boom
boom
buh doom boom boom boom
a sweet pure trilling flute darts amongst the sudden lull
between the deep reverberations
a dragonfly dancing among the particulates
the sharp punch of trombone
a predator awakens
trumpet screams
a flash of color as a bird flies out of the tall grass
the different instruments pull together as the dust settles and a new song finds life
shaky notes strum from the strings
a coda blending perfectly into an intro
as the final lizard is swallowed by ice and gravel in a tinkling of ivory keys
buh doom boom boom boom boom boom boom
boom
buh doom boom boom boom
Huh… now that was quite interesting indeed
