almost idm, but no tinkling piano and vocals.
Story behind the song
the final stanza is a verbal representation of the opening of the old stop animation classic, "Davey and Goliath," by Art Clokey of "Gumby and Pokey" fame.
Lyrics
They say the world rests
balanced on a turtle’s back.
What’s it stand on,
the skeptic asks?
another turtle
the reply,
which sits upon another,
comes the answer with a sigh.
And that upon one more,
I thought you would have guessed
it’s turtles to the bottom
each bigger than the next.
And when they topple over
its by starts and fits
by woman’s beard,
by fish breath and black bird’s spit
while the sun walks the horizon,
orange as a pumpkin’s dream,
carved out and waiting
for the final Halloween.
The faceless trumpet blows
and the rocket’s glare all red
while stars and shards rain down
upon Goliath’s head.
