High Fidelity

This oath I breathe into the night, Where spectral voices wage and fight For space to salvage, immunise And subjugate before my eyes. A song despatched with vocal chords, Dipped in sorrow, ill affords To waste a single key of sound, To find the words not often found. And thus in tears of honey dew I turn the dial and think of you, And know I will remain, prevail, Hold fast my heart beyond the pale. This muted plea of fire and ice, It burns and chills, will not suffice; This unremitting, ceaseless cry, Fidelity tuned a perfect high. This I must tell and you must know, For when you leave me, when you go, My world may stop and cease to be 'Till you return and stay with me.
