When Gods Are Silent

dialogue, duet of woman and man voices (SHE and HE), woman voice FIRST

V4.5-ALL

[male vocal]:
- You say that like poison
Like I carved their wounds
I just light a candle in a dark
Locked room
When the sky stays empty and the prayers fall flat
Who picks up the phone then? I already know that

[Chorus]
[female vocal]:
- When gods are silent
You speak for them
You promise heaven in your hands
You wear their hunger like a crown
Build your kingdom on the let-down

[male vocal]:
- When gods are silent
Who else comes?
Who waits
Who listens
Who still runs?
If hope is fragile
I hold it up
If I’m a liar
I lie with love (oh)

[Verse 2]
[female vocal]:
- You whisper their secrets
You drink all their trust
You dress up as mercy
But it’s power you love
You tell them “I see you
” and they melt like wax
You don’t walk on water
You just walk on their backs

[male vocal]:
- You think I don’t struggle with the weight I take?
Every promise I offer could be one more mistake
But I’ve sat on the floor while their bodies just shake
Where was your shining heaven when their bones would break?

[Chorus]
[female vocal]:
- When gods are silent
You speak for them
You turn your comfort into law
You write their stories in your hand
Then call it blessing when they fall

[male vocal]:
- When gods are silent
Who else stays?
Who holds the shaking through the rage?
If I’m a false light
At least I burn
I’m not the silence they return

[Bridge]
[female vocal]:
- What if you stepped back
Let them stand alone
Would they still see you
Or just feel their own?

[male vocal]:
- What if your clean hands
Had to touch that pain
Would you still judge me
From your safe
Dry faith?

[Chorus]
[female vocal]:
- When gods are silent
You speak for them
And I’m afraid they can’t say “no”
You make yourself their only door
Then swear you’re just a shadow

[male vocal]:
- When gods are silent
I don’t run
I stay until the morning comes
Call me a fraud
A failing man
But I am here when nothing answers back

[Outro]
[female vocal]:
- Maybe you’re helping
Maybe you harm

[male vocal]:
- Maybe I’m saving
Just with bare hands

[Both]:
- When gods are silent
We’re all just trying
To be heard by someone
Or to be that someone (oh)

[Verse 1] [female vocal]: - You sit in the center like some quiet throne Taking every broken heart Calling it your own They kneel at your doorframe You bless them by name But you feed on their aching You live on their faith [male vocal]: - You say that like poison Like I carved their wounds I just light a candle in a dark Locked room When the sky stays empty and the prayers fall flat Who picks up the phone then?
