Lyrics This Long Silence - Porcupine Tree

This Long Silence

A systematic killer
Returning from Madrid
Murdered Mozart in his garden,
Mussolini ran and hid.
He was chosen by his elders
Sitting on the shelf,
They passed his heart to Satan,
Who showered them with wealth.
A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn
Where lonely angels played
And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam
While a president decayed.
Hollow laughter from below
Cracked the sky in two
As Manson dance inside the flames
And the yellow changed to blue.
Swinging from a length of rope
Ruth Ellis blew a kiss,
Merlin spoke to Norma Jean
And granted her a wish.
Mark Chapman stared at Fantasy,
Bare wires burned his brain
As Sergeant Pepper led the band
Playing through the rain.
The third eye on the surface
Opens up my mind,
Twin visions in production,
This long silence you will find.
