The Silence Speaks (Version 4)

[intro] [musical interlude] [Verse 1] A thousand stars shine and yet the sky feels bare (so bare), Whispers lost in the cold, cold, thin air. Each breath a burden and each thought a strain (on my soul...), I question the meaning in joy and pain. The mirror holds a face I’ve known, But in its eyes, a stranger’s grown. The memories falter, but the truth remains, (it remains) So, who am I beneath these veins? [Chorus] The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!). It asks of me, what life has cost, What have I found, and what’s been lost? The weight of the silence pulls me in (pulls me iiiin...), But through the darkness, I’ll own my sins (I own my sins...). [whispered] The silence speak a thousand words... All that is true and all that it worse... The silence.... speaks. [epic musical solo] [musical interlude] [Verse 2] Every shadow casts its tale (casts its tale), Of fleeting steps on a fragile trail (on a fragile TRAIL). Moments slip like grains through my hands, Is the hourglass so cruel, or does it understand? [buildup] The past is a spirit lingering near, (near) It holds no answers, just amplifies fear (FEAR). The future calls, but its voice is faint, A canvas blank, or a sinner’s saint? [Chorus] The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!). It asks of me, what life has cost, What have I found, and what’s been lost? The weight of the silence pulls me in (pulls me iiiin...), But through the darkness, I’ll own my sins (I own my sins...). [whispered] The silence speak a thousand words... All that is true and all that it worse... The silence.... speaks. [epic musical solo] [Bridge] If love is fleeting, is it still divine? If truth is blurred, does it still define? I search for meaning in the chaos bred, A symphony played in my weary head. Each question leads to another door, Endless halls with a boundless floor. Yet in the search, perhaps we find, The purpose isn’t clarity—it’s the climb. [Chorus] The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!). It asks of me, what life has cost, What have I found, and what’s been lost? The weight of the silence pulls me in (pulls me iiiin...), But through the darkness, I’ll own my sins (I own my sins...). [whispered] The silence speak a thousand words... All that is true and all that it worse... The silence.... speaks. [Outro] In the end, I’m the story I tell, A flicker of light in a boundless well. The silence fades, its lesson clear, In the quiet, I found myself here.... [Chorus] The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!). It asks of me, what life has cost, What have I found, and what’s been lost? The weight of the silence pulls me in (pulls me iiiin...), But through the darkness, I’ll own my sins (I own my sins...). [end song] [Outro] In the end, I’m the story I tell, A flicker of light in a boundless well. The silence fades, its lesson clear, In the quiet, I found myself here.... [Chorus] The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!). It asks of me, what life has cost, What have I found, and what’s been lost? The weight of the silence pulls me in (pulls me iiiin...), But through the darkness, I’ll own my sins (I own my sins...). The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!) I said... The silence speaks where words decay (where words decay...), A truth too raw to look away (I can't look away!) THE SILENCE SPEAKS [end song]
