The Silence
A swarm slowed to a crawl through streets adorned
A banquet draped in decadence and of shadows born
I wade the sloshy grey forecast as white
The blinding dark consumes shards of faded light
Pale moon, deliver us
Flayed off shine
I search the melted snow for the tracks of the sleigh
I try to see the joy when children play
I strain to hear the singing and the sound of the bells
But there is nothing but the silence, the silence
The wind suspires a sigh, its piercing chill
Foresees the bitter aftertaste of the sweetened pill
No sign of Jesus Claus or Santa Christ
The blinding dark consumes shards of faded light
Pale moon, deliver us
Greyed out time
I'm numb with indifference
Flayed off shine
(chorus)
The silence, the silence
A swarm slowed to a crawl through streets adorned
A banquet draped in decadence and of shadows born
I wade the sloshy grey forecast as white
The blinding dark consumes shards of faded light
Pale moon, deliver us
Flayed off shine
I search the melted snow for the tracks of the sleigh
I try to see the joy when children play
I strain to hear the singing and the sound of the bells
But there is nothing but the silence, the silence
The wind suspires a sigh, its piercing chill
Foresees the bitter aftertaste of the sweetened pill
No sign of Jesus Claus or Santa Christ
The blinding dark consumes shards of faded light
Pale moon, deliver us
Greyed out time
I'm numb with indifference
Flayed off shine
(chorus)
The silence, the silence
