The Gift Of 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've had all I can take
To hate for hate's sake
Tearing down what you cannot create
The time has come to be put to sleep
A gift of silence for a herd of sheep
Nature is red in tooth and claw
Did they tell you you must be
The first without a flaw?
Nature is red in tooth and in claw
Let it rain, rain all over me
Till the water will no longer bleed
Oh, let it rain so you will see
What it's like, what it's like to be free
I stand before dangerous territory
Staring the enemy right in the eye
If only I could cross the line
Seize control, don't let the currents divide
The pattern is equal
For those who play the game
The pattern is flawless
Don't you dare deny the blame
Let it rain, rain all over me
Till the water will no longer bleed
Oh, let it rain so you will see
What it's like, what it's like to be free
Let it rain, pour it all over me
I will shed my scales into the sea
Let it rain, pour it all over me
I will sit there and let you repeat
Till your words will no longer bleed
Let it rain, rain all over me
Till the water will no longer bleed
Oh, let it rain so you will see
What it's like, what it's like to be free
