Silence Is Deafening Songtext / Lyric

(Embury, Greenway)



Rant long and loud

Repeat 'til you're blue in the face

Ever get the feeling you're always on a losing streak?



Their silence is deafening

From the havens of thieves and kings



Empower those who serve to deflect suspicious minds

Action and answers as likely as a reversal of time






Their silence is deafening

From the retreats of tamed apologists

Their disdain is crippling

For those whose crises they have fixed



I am your "untermensch" - a trace of filth to be scraped off

A trace of filth to be scraped off



Yet when it's you who's in their debt

The strong-arm brings you to your knees

So much for "progressive authority"

A trace of filth to be scraped off



Power for the powerless - well, where?

Screaming at the wall to make more sense...



...I melt back into indifference



The silence is deafening

The silence is deafening

The silence is deafening
