[Verse 1] And there I lay, With my eyes closed, Waiting... For the sleep that never came, Idle and exposed, All magic cannot sustain, Void of all hope, But still I wait, Like a stone. [Chorus] In silence, heavy on my mind; On my mind, it weighs, Rest will not see me tonight, Nor meet me half way, In darkness, void of all light, Void... The mere whisper of my name. [Verse 2] Why do I walk this path? Or is it me, the path chose? Mercy on thee doth thou not hath? Nor pity... I suppose. Am I mad? It's been hours, And not a sign of any repose, But what crumbs of it can be had, I will devour, To what ever miracle the gods will bestow. [Chorus] In silence, heavy on my mind; On my mind, it weighs, Rest will not see me tonight, Nor meet me half way, In darkness, void of all light, Void... The mere whisper of my name. [Bridge] Steady now, I tell myself. Steady... Quiet and still... Tis' the patient hunter who gets the kill. [Chorus] In silence, heavy on my mind; On my mind, it weighs, Rest will not see me tonight, Nor meet me half way, In darkness, void of all light, Void... The mere whisper of my name.
