Intro]
[Heavy, rhythmic tribal drums — slow and sparse at first, then building in intensity and complexity over 20–30 seconds. No other instruments. Let the drums feel primal and slightly off-kilter, like something rising out of the ground.]
[Verse 1]
Waves break,
Main channel heartache,
Anything but silence.
[Chorus] {quieter on vocals fade in and out)
Air, earth, fire, and water.
Air, earth, fire, and water.
[Verse 2]
Earthquake,
Tonka tanks,
Is that violence?
Rattlesnake,
Burned on a stake,
Non compliant.
Wide awake,
The wind shakes,
Hips dance.
[Bridge]
(Drums still driving, maybe a low pulse underneath)
Wide awake, wind shakes the burned snake,
While the earthquake makes Tonka tank,
Waves break in response to main channel heartache.
[Final Chorus]
Air, earth, fire, and water.
Air, earth, fire, and water.
[Outro]
[Percussion drops out completely.
Fading slowly into minimal acoustic guitar — sparse, almost fragile fingerpicking or single notes hanging in the air.]
Run from the silence,
be valiant,
Take the chance.
Air, earth, fire, and water.
(Guitar continues alone for several more seconds, then fades to silence.)
