And the music played

it was out of darkness that it came first a warble a shrill a grotesque shriek so angry it attracted wretchedness evil pain but then there came a time when light itself stretched across the shadows of his mind and invoked music

it was out of darkness that it came
first a warble
a shrill
a grotesque shriek
so angry
it attracted wretchedness
evil
pain
but then
there came a time
when light itself stretched
across the shadows of his mind

and invoked
music

    I really like the mythical feel of this, and how the light brings the music.
