Late nights

It's 2am, and I'm doing a heavy gym session and listening to Stargazer, by Rainbow. One of the earliest metal songs. I'm in a pretty manic mood, fluctuating wildly. Very unusual for me.

In the heat and the rain
/With the whips and chains
/To see him fly
/So many die
/We built a tower of stone
/With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly/
But don't know why
/Now where do we go?
...
Take me back/
You, give me back my will
I imagine a Mayan worship scene and a human-invented God, nourished on the blood of sacrifices.

Metal and weight lifting go together in such a satisfying way.

Sorry, that wasn't a very profound comment. But it's past my bedtime.
