The Wall of Silence

Intro

Oh oh

Lord help us

We’re looking for the light

Verse 1

Paper trails

Hidden behind heavy iron gates

The ink dries

Ancient ink dries on those scrolls

Shadows stretching back to dusty Roman roads

Empty pockets

Every hand is reaching for a share

Pre-Chorus

The clock keeps ticking while they hide the hand

Keeping us blind to what they truly planned

Asking why

Asking how

Chorus

Holding back the truth

Just holding back the truth

They keep the water muddy

They keep the story blurry

Yeah holding back the truth

Post-Chorus

Oh tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why

Verse 2

Wolves in suits

Gold and grease and grand designs

They built a wall of silence ten miles high

Locked the door

Stole the key

Fed us a bowl of pretty sugar lies

Simple men working through the heat

Pre-Chorus

The clock keeps ticking while they hide the hand

Keeping us blind to what they truly planned

Asking why

Asking how

Chorus

Holding back the truth

Just holding back the truth

They keep the water muddy

They keep the story blurry

Yeah holding back the truth

Bridge

They see us as a number

They see us as a ghost

They see us as a means to an end

But the morning sun is coming

The morning sun is here

Chorus

Holding back the truth

Just holding back the truth

They keep the water muddy

They keep the story blurry

Yeah holding back the truth

Post-Chorus

Oh tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why
