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.
