...and by Dawn There Will Be Silence Lyrics

Burning fields - alleged wars are on, unknown enemies roam our temples and our homes
Show me the tomb where the bloom of infamy was Born

Why does it feel like my eyes are shuddering?
The breathing’s shallow and my mind keeps screaming
Swallowing the pain that is spreading in front of me, the lies and the horrors, all the enforced fighting
I’m not myself, I am not deciding what to believe and the drums keep beating
Twist my neck with another distraction, I thirst for sorrow and the next big affliction

Empathy - I keep it locked inside

Thrilled and amazed by the vast loads of suffering, feed me with madness, it’s not affecting
Anything I know, for I dug this common grave to bury the last relicts of my guilty conscience
All days end as our hearts are shattered by the terror, the deceit and the constant bloodshed
Time is up, we are nothing to anyone and couldn’t even manage to prevent the secret war hawks from bringing death to us – boiling death

How comes no one ever dropped out?
How comes no one ever stopped them from injecting hate and fear?
Was it phlegm, was it sloth, was it all too distant?
These wars are fuelled by their acts of treason, again and again, it just keeps repeating
All days end as our hearts are shattered by the terror, the deceit and the constant bloodshed
This is hell, it will rise upon everyone - we couldn’t even manage to refuse to absorb their poison

Can’t you see? We’re already dead
I have watched them, legions crying over sheer piles of human flesh
And by dawn there will be silence
On this stone I come to rest
Cold as my blood, dead like our world

Night by night I’m haunted by this terrifying dream, although I know this is far from my reality
I woke up at first light to the sound of dying screams
Only to discover that death has caught up with me

Swallowing the pain that is spreading in front of me, the lies and the horrors, all the enforced fighting
All days end as our hearts are shattered by the terror, the deceit and the constant bloodshed
This is hell, it will rise upon everyone - we couldn’t even manage to prevent the secret war hawks
From bringing death
