Silence

If you have to silence me
Do it now, do it now
While I can still say no
And you have nothing
With which to bribe me
I don't want to wait
Do it now, do it now
While I can still feel
All the horror, weighing heavy
It doesn't hurt me none
To keep my mouth, firmly closed
You are the ones who made
These words, from the silence
I don't want to wait
'Till time, rusts the weapons
I don't want this fear
To have more time, with which to beat me
If ya have to silence me
Do it now, do it now
While I still have the hands
To trade this guitar, for another
It doesn't anger me
To keep my mouth, firmly closed
You are the ones who made
These words, from the silence
It doesn't anger me
To keep my mouth, firmly closed
You are the ones who made
These words, from the silence
If you have to silence me
Do it now, do it now
