Lyrics
The Ghastly Silence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see
I had a feeling deep inside
That something was watching me
I couldn't move
I couldn't speak nor could I flee
There is an unstoppable horror
And it's coming for me
Evening came and so did they
Unknown voices laughing in the dark
They spoke of an impenetrable darkness
The absence of light
I can hear them approaching
The smell of old
Must follow their stench
The ghastly silence spoke to me
You cannot sleep
You cannot cry and you cannot smile
Unless someone dies
