To live a life in silence, to live without the word. I'm sitting here like a silent bird. You try to understand the symbols of my hand. I am like a rock that has turned to sand. [Chorus:] SILENT. MUTED FOR ETERNAL TIME? SO VIOLENT. BUT I JUST CAN'T CONFESS MY CRIME Like every human being there is a thing I seek. For me the day when I can finally speak. To hear my voice again, I still remember when I could say what was on my mind. I rule the streets at night, against myself I fight. I am only trying to survive you see. No man will ever live after what I will give. His soul will go to meet my voice up there. [Chorus] Piece by piece I die. Soon there's no tears to cry. I am fading out just like a star falling from the sky! I hear me in my dreams. I can't deny I am suffering. Judge from my silent screams. Without my voice I am withering. Oh, how I wish to scream and to wake up from this dream, but the pain I feel is real. I try to say my name. But I always hear the same: Silence! It drives me insane. To live a life in silence, to live without the word. I'm sitting here like a silent bird. You try to understand the symbols of my hand. I am like a rock that has turned to sand. Like every human being there's a thing I seek, for me the day when I can finally speak. To hear my voice again I still remember when I could say what was on my mind. Silent. [Chorus] The written word has no meaning, there is no harmony in my words. [Music and lyrics by Swan";] [Arranged by Swan";/Larsson] [Intro, lead and acoustic guitar by Swan";]
