Lyrics Silence - Maggot Brain

Silence

What horror the face of fascism creates
They carry out their plans with knife like precision
For them blood equals medals and slaughter is an act of heroism
How hard it is to see what I must seek in horror
The horrors which I’ve seen and done
But my actions are choked out like lifeless breath
Along with the horde I succumb to apathy
Our fears our failures moral pressures and terror of insanity
Hunger, cold, panic and pain is what where left with
It’s our training
Our draining
Our fall
To see myself fallen so far
I’ve been led stray
By hunger, cold, panic, pain and terror of insanity
To see myself losing this grace, losing this face
This dignity
Integrity
Filled with
Complacency
To see myself at so many moments throughout
Infinity
All I am echoes in
Smoke
On the midnight sky
At the end there will be no light upon this dark path
It would silence the screams throughout infinity
It would silence the screams till the end of my soul
These wretched cries of pain succeed to silence
Inside the spirit of the great trees heart
But there will be no tree because we’ve cut them down
