Oh, Zak... you were probably my favorite character in the first book. Why, why did you have to die?
Soundscape
Close your eyes and listen
The sound of the world is echoing
It's trying to get through to us
But will anyone listen?
Close your eyes and sleep
Dream your web of lies
Continue your ignorant life
Why would it concern you?
Close your eyes and ears,
Don't leave it any way to get through
If you did, then what would it do?
No need to worry about that, too.
The sounds of the world
Of it's very soul
Are trying to connect with us
But no one will listen.
The world is dying
We're destroying our home
It tries to cry out to us
But no one will listen.
I can hear the soundscape of the world,
And I want to help
Alone I can do nothing
And no one will listen.
I want to stop the cries,
To help the poor thing,
I want to see what the world was like
Before we destroyed it.
But no one understands.
No one will listen.
No one can hear it.
Perhaps there is nothing to hear.
