Assemblage 23 - Beneath The Silence (1989) lyrics

A side of you nobody knew Seems to have reared its ugly head A darker truth you hid so long Revealed in the words we read All these years the face you showed Was a mask that hid away The monster underneath it all Stuck inside a twisted game Waves of destruction and shattered lives Strewn around you at your feet Your callous actions, a legacy From which you can't soon retreat You had to know that the day would come When the truth would be revealed The world will see you for what you are And all the shame you had concealed What lies beneath the silence? The steady hum of violence What lies beneath the silence? The steady hum of violence The time has come to pay the price For the awful wrath you showed To people you had claimed to love At the same time their blood flow No mercy to show to you When you lacked so much yourself A bleak future awaits you now And depths to which you fell What lies beneath the silence? The steady hum of violence What lies beneath the silence? The steady hum of violence
