Sonic Agony

I see them working, sweating, raving on the floor
They’re pushing to the limits — still they cry for more
And as their bodies twitch in sonic agony
My mind is setting out to soothing reverie
I dream a dream so quiet, soft and plain
A story leading to an infinite refrain
And though I like the air of roaring ecstasy
Every now and then it’s just too much for me
