Lyrics
Silence Sweeps
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.
He enters the room, tall, dark
The chatter dies in the audience
As he approaches the podium
Silence sweeps, they lay in wait
Too stupid to think for themselves
The need his words to ease their souls
So still, they wait with baited breath
For words to lead them to salvation
Worse than any nightmare
Is the reality of life?
The undeniable truth
That won't go away
Some won't trust their hearts
To feel the way
But when it's done
They'll fade
I will burn for my sins
Burn for my greed
I will burn for my contempt
Burn for what I don't believe
Worse than any nightmare
Is the reality of life?
The undeniable truth
That won't go away
You are force-fed so many lies
Should I take it, shouldn't I, shouldn't I
Raping everything that makes me different
Killing all the things that makes you, you.
You are force fed so many lies
Can't you see the blind leading the blind?
Take everything at face value
Don't dare to question their word
I'm not trying to criticise you faith
I just think you're taking it the wrong way
Its just logic we learn from our mistakes
Where are your choices taking you?
Look up to the liar
Take his words as truths
Not worthy of free thought
Once again silence sweeps
100 sheep sitting in a row
Fear of reprisal keeps them in line
Can't they just be trusted?
Familiarity breeds contempt
Death escapes the nightmare
But is the fear itself
The unescapable truth
You can't run away
You are force fed so many lies
Can't you see the blind leading the blind?
Take everything at face value
Don't dare to question their word
