You can't say what it is You can't explain what it is But somehow you know That beneath the trees Lives a great evil Too old to bear a name There is a total silence Even the leaves won't move Everyone gets nervous and fears The silence of the woods Once there was a time Of hope and joy Days filled with children's laughter Now those days are gone Never to be seen again There is total silence... Not distant anymore It overwhelms us The days of grief are here How come you feel so strange? Look closer, no one is there The owls are listening From our hearts to our souls
