Silent Century

Intro

Verse 1

They built a silence thick as stone,

A century of fear, alone.

They locked the voice, they sealed the door,

And taught the flesh to ask for more.

(More...)

Pre-Chorus

They said the body was a sin,

That the fire inside could never win.

(Silence...)

But silence, like a seed, can grow,

Into a storm the world will know.

Chorus

The Silent Century! The age of the grave!

The voice that they silenced, the heart they couldn't save!

(Save!)

They wrote the rules, they built the wall,

But the silence... the silence is starting to fall!

Verse 2

They called it shame, they called it vice,

A sacrifice to make things nice.

They dressed the fear in holy robes,

And built a tomb for all the hopes.

(Silence...)

Pre-Chorus

They said the body was a sin,

That the fire inside could never win.

But silence, like a seed, can grow,

Into a storm the world will know.

Bridge

They thought silence could erase the flame,

(Silence...)

But a flame... a flame doesn't need a name.

Chorus Final

The Silent Century! The age of the grave!

The voice that they silenced, the heart they couldn't save!

They wrote the rules, they built the wall,

But the silence... the silence is starting to fall!

Outro

(Silence...)

(...is over.)
