Solillaquists of Sound - Pledge of Resonance lyrics

I am the listener
Well before there was something to be said
I was here many have argued whether or not
Sound exists without me
But what is often overlooked
In the midst of these debates
Is the true importance of
The relationship between
Sound and those who perceive it
Sound can be defined as something heard
But in essence is a cycle of
Vibrations that move through matter
As the listener
I vow to maintain the ability
To define these vibrations
And therefore amplify them with my actions
It is in my hands to allow what I hear
To fade to silence or to be given meaning
As these actions remain
I become the echo that prolongs
The life of a sound
And as sound is essentially a movement
Ultimately, the fate of a
Movement lies within me, the listener
