Following the course of the stream With no guiding light we row till the river’s end And the silence that is our companion Conceals from our sight all that we could be
Undesired, yet always by our side A single touch of its wings to smother our minds Numbness, perhaps, a blessing in disguise Relieved from all burden we swallow our pride
Beating, the wings of silence cast their spell on us An embrace that leads to self-neglect Dissolving the bond that long ago we shared Tearing down the pillars of the inner man
And while the shadows became us We dare not to talk, dare not to think And as time goes by we are faced with reality We’re just a silent mouth for a silent mind.
Beating, the wings of silence cast their spell on us An embrace that leads to self-neglect Dissolving the bond that long ago we shared Tearing down the pillars of the inner man
“I won’t be turned into a living memory I will stand tall, dwell not on misery”
Awake and mend what silence kept torn Endure the fiery beating of its wings The task of fighting is ultimately yours For the shadow and silence to fall.
