Soundcheck at the Velvet Arena

[Intro] [Microphone Tap & Arena Reverb silence] Tap, tap... 'Check, one, two... check, one, two...' Echoing across fifteen thousand empty seats [Verse 1] [Deep Kick Drum & Cavernous Reverb] Empty stadium at four in the afternoon Waiting for the magic of the evening moon Black cables taped along the concrete aisle Looking at the stage with a thankful smile Sound engineer raises the master fader high Testing the acoustics under the steel sky [Pre-Chorus] [Rising Guitar Chords & Tom Roll] Snare drum cracks like thunder in the dome Tonight this giant arena is my home [Chorus] [Epic Arena Rock Drop] Check one two into the empty arena Prettier than any sight in Santa Catalina Every frequency tuned to perfection and power Counting down the minutes to the showtime hour Sing out, test the mic, let the silence fly Reaching to the top of the stadium sky [Verse 2] [Driving Bass & Guitar Lead] Green laser lines testing on the roof Giving our technical mastery the proof I walk to the catwalk edge and look around Ready to fill this place with rock sound [Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Belt & Full Arena silence] Oh, let fifteen thousand voices sing tonight! Underneath the blazing stadium light! We worked for years to reach this golden stage Turning to the finest rock-and-roll page! [Chorus] [Full Grand Arena Climax] Check one two into the empty arena Prettier than any sight in Santa Catalina Every frequency tuned to perfection and power Counting down the minutes to the showtime hour Sing out, test the mic, let the silence fly Reaching to the top of the stadium sky [Outro] [Microphone Feedback & Arena Doors Opening] Soundcheck complete... Let the crowd in. [Fade Out] [End]
