Lyrics The Great White Silence - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

The Great White Silence

The cruel great white silence
Crawls in from the dark
Crushes your soul
Cripples your heart
And it’s gone
The brutal cold violence
Of your last remark
Hangs in the void
Eclipses the spark
And it’s gone
The dull great white silence
That ends the affair
It deadens the senses
Freezes the air
And it’s gone
Of all life’s illusions
Regret is the one
That tortures and haunts
Each deed that is done
And it’s gone
No light in the distance
To call from afar
Extinguished, forgotten
Remains as a scar
And it’s gone
The cruel great white silence
Crawls in from the dark
Crushing your soul
Crippling your heart
And it’s gone
