THE SILENCE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

[with some lines stolen from
THE WINTER'S TALE by Shakespeare]

the silence of pure innocence
can work when all else fails
whether spoke with no pretence
or years locked up in jail

you knew me when I had the words
and spoke without the violence
but now thoughts fly away like birds
I'm left with only
the silence

my grief all lies within me now
and these external tears
and all matters of my laments
are shadows of my fears

there is an unseen grief within
that stubbornly defiant
that stops and starts begins again
like a bell that will not ring
with the silence

the silence can not be forgot
the silence can not lose
for all things end up silently
no matter what we choose

the silence conquers uber alles
just like a fatal virus
it knocks down cities and the walls
unbreakable
the silence
