Album: Purgatory Afterglow
Music and lyrics: Dan SwanoArranged: Dan Swano, LarssonIntro, lead and acoustic guitar: Dan Swano
To live a life in silence, to live without the word.
I'm sitting here like a silent bird.
You try to understand the symbols of my hand.
I am like a rock that has turned to sand.
silent. muted for eternal time? so violent.
but i just can't confess my crime
Like every human being there is a thing I seek.
For me the day when I can finally speak.
To hear my voice again, I still remember when
I could say what was on my mind.
I rule the streets at night, against myself I fight.
I am only trying to survive you see.
No man will ever live after what I will give.
His soul will go to meet my voice up there.
silent. muted for eternal time? so violent.
but i just can't confess my crime
Piece by piece I die.
Soon there's no tears to cry.
I am fading out just like a star falling from the sky!
I hear me in my dreams.
I can't deny.
I am suffering.
Judge from my silent screams.
Without my voice I am withering.
Oh, how I wish to scream and to wake up from this dream,
but the pain I feel is real.
I try to say my name.
But I always hear the same:
Silence! It drives me insane.
To live a life in silence, to live without the word.
I'm sitting here like a silent bird.
You try to understand the symbols of my hand.
I am like a rock that has turned to sand.
Like every human being there's a thing I seek,
for me the day when I can finally speak.
To hear my voice again I still remember
when I could say what was on my mind. Silent.
silent. muted for eternal time? so violent.
but i just can't confess my crime
The written word has no meaning,
there is no harmony in my words.
