In Fear Of The Silence

Tell me – will the sun shine no more?
Tell me – will the oil pollute every shore?
Tell me – will the seas dry out?
Tell me – what’s the breaking news about?

I can’t believe the ignorance you’re playing
Stop and turn your thoughts upside down
This world was not made for greed and exploitation
Too bad, our loss; what goes around comes around

Silence in the air these nights
Silence – too late to make all the wrongs rights?
Silence – changes are to come
Silence will be all that’s left, when life is gone

Silence
Silence
Listen; this silence will be all that’s left
When life is gone

 

Until The Crush Of My Bones

So here we are - I’m fed up with your missing comprehension
All I need now is time and space – got your attention?!
Your clammy hands on my shoulder, this connection
It’s got nothing to do with affection

So won’t you please leave me the hell alone?
Won’t you, won’t you, won’t you, won’t you, won’t you?
Like in the myth of the badger you bite until -
Until the crush of my bones

Good will’s gone, patience’s fading
Go on and you’ll turn my loving into hating
Somehow it feels like you think I breathe for your entertainment
To fill the void in your life – that’s an unfair arrangement

So won’t you please leave me the hell alone?
Won’t you, won’t you, won’t you, won’t you, won’t you?
Like a leech you drain my mind until -
I’m dried out skin and bones

 

Reduced To Shadow Beings

Walking through the streets only touched by city lights
Ignorance is a prevalent belief
No one seems to notice or care for this homeless life
Preoccupied with trivialities and greed

Passing by his fellow sufferers, sharing pain an tales of woe
Recalling loves and lives that once were theirs to claim
Appointed outcasts of society, tell me why it must be so
Reduced to shadow beings with no faces and no names
Reach out a hand

Dark is closing in and the cold wind’s pitiless
The gutters calls for never ending sleep
Abandoned by society with hardly no regrets
The way down decline is short and steep
