    Cracking sounds high above the clouds Not thunder or enough lightning to crowd Enjoying the screams of the chorus beneath Rejoicing above for the hype they filled Tall and short lads and ladies walk Holding torches burning whole Ready to spark some party tonight Tossing and turning people all around…
