Silence

[Lyrics by Sam Vallen]I want to be ignorant to the frailty of my lifeDays are grains of sand in a disciple's handLooking out my windowThrough the grey and lifeless skyI know what I amI want to see the rain in fear through primal eyesBut I'm terrified of the silence that kept meBefore I was aliveAnd passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behindAnd dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decideI want to see the rain in fear through primal eyesI want to be innocent of hypocrisy and liesBut in these surroundings the strongest surviveAnd seeing the world before meAs the end result of all that has beenI know what I amI want to see the rain in fear through primal eyesBut I'm terrified of the silence that kept meBefore I was aliveAnd passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behindAnd dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decideI want to feel the pain of zeal behind your criesIt seems an easy way to escape from the silenceAnd if I look back now with regretI know I've lost something I'll never find againAnd every day I'm getting olderAnd the world slips further away.And every step is only closerTo the one you lostBehind the roadBeyond our human wants and gainsTo both your faith and my disdain(Your trembling lips betray your aim)And you know that when it endsWe end the sameAnd every day I'm getting olderAnd in our world I will decayWith every step a little closerTo my final breathBeyond regretPast hope and love and human pain(And when it ends)We end the sameAnd passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behindAnd dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide
