[Verse 1]
Your theater minds
And backstage hearts
Curse and convict the innocent
They take their place on top
Of shattered skulls
And stare down at the broken crowd
Time has gone...
[Chorus]
Silence haunts the dead of night
Yet fear still hunts the shine of day
Skies will fall and leave a sign
That tears apart the requiem of light’s end
[Post-Chorus]
Silence haunts the dead of night
Yet fear still hunts the shine of day
[Verse 2]
To rise again
One first must fall
The sacred revenant will fade
Soliloquy: a spoken wish
The cry for help
A final symphony
[Chorus]
Silence haunts the dead of night
Yet fear still hunts the shine of day
Skies will fall and leave a sign
That tears apart the requiem of light’s end
[Bridge]
When the darkness fails to fade
The air fills with a dismal haze
Stuck in foul, eternal shade
Unbreathable; sets lungs ablaze
Days fly swiftly, full of pain
And thoughts will suddenly ignite
Stars all plot a cruel campaign
That one day they’ll fall out of sight
Though rotation feels so faint
The east will radiate and then
The morning sky, the sun will paint
The land, the light will flood again!
[Chorus]
Silence haunts the dead of night
Yet fear still hunts the shine of day
Skies will fall and leave a sign
That tears apart the requiem of light’s end…
