| I loved the Noise, | |
| electric breath; | |
| Noise filled the emptiness, | |
| roared in the emptiness. | |
| A noise to strip the paper clean off the wall, | |
| a noise to crack the masonry like a breaking-ball, | |
| the cutting edge of sonic, the wave that never breaks | |
| and the heart and soul are pumping | |
| me awake, me awake, me awake. | |
| I loved the Noise, | |
| shake to the core; | |
| that's what the Noise is for. | |
| Nothing came of nothing except what was left behind | |
| in the barrage of the bombard, under organ grind. | |
| I'm caught there in the moment, bug-eyed overnight drive | |
| and the heart and soul are pumping | |
| me alive, me alive, me alive, me alive. | |
| And in the rush of the silence with my arms wrapped round me warm | |
| I'm holding breath, impatient for the dark before the dawn... | |
| Just at the crack of daylight that'll be the curtain torn, | |
| that'll be the ground in a forewarning murmur | |
| of the Noise, of the storm. | |
| I loved the Noise, | |
| electric breath, | |
| Noise filled the emptiness. | |
| I loved the Noise, | |
| I loved the heat – | |
| pump-pulse that priming beat. | |
| A statement of intention, an elemental plan – | |
| the Noise is in the temple, the Noise is out of hand; | |
| the needle on the end stop, crescendo in the choir... | |
| yes, and the heart and soul are pumping | |
| me on fire, me on fire, me on fire, me on fire, | |
| me on fire, me on fire, me on fire, me on fire. | |
| I loved the Noise, | |
| I've drunk my fill; | |
| the Noise is with me still. | |
| I loved the Noise | |
| though now it's gone | |
| some glorious echoes of the Noise still linger on. | |
| Power on. |
| I loved the Noise, | |

| I loved the Noise, | |
| shake to the core | |
| that' s what the Noise is for. | |
| Nothing came of nothing except what was left behind | |
| in the barrage of the bombard, under organ grind. | |
| I' m caught there in the moment, bugeyed overnight drive | |
| and the heart and soul are pumping | |
| me alive, me alive, me alive, me alive. | |
| And in the rush of the silence with my arms wrapped round me warm | |
| I' m holding breath, impatient for the dark before the dawn... | |
| Just at the crack of daylight that' ll be the curtain torn, | |
| that' ll be the ground in a forewarning murmur | |
| of the Noise, of the storm. | |
