When only silence speaks
Hearts are saddening
When only silence speaks
Hearts are listening
Mouths are corked with a horn
To blow hymn to the big brother
Between lips lies are born
Between lips truth is torn
When only silence speaks
Hearts are saddening
When only silence speaks
Hearts are listening
But in silence hearts yearn
And mourn the match that lit the fire
In the flames lies are burned
In the flames truth is learned
