The Raving (verse 5)

Down the long dark hallway, watching, stood there in a daze, trembling,
It ain’t nothing, I’m just dreaming, but they’s never dreams like this before;
But silence is as silence does, I’m tellin’ you I had no buzz,
And the only word that came my way was just a vapor, “A war?”
I mouthed it out, and an echo shot back to me, “A war!”—
Tha’s it — nothing more.
