The Silence of Minds

Released on the album ‘Welcome the Dead’

Lyrics: Barberini

Music: Barberini


Immortalised Dreams of Fading Tradition

Persistently Breed in the Silence Of Minds

Hey Ma! – You told me I’d be born again

Into a world of endless hope

But I find myself confused, as the lies unfold

Fear! 

Of living without reason

Of dying without believing

In a way to save my soul

Don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be heard

Afraid to talk, ashamed to learn

Follow the blind – not the wise

Hidden truth, my hands are tied

Birth of Prophets, prelude to war

I don’t know what to believe    

Will I ever ride on ethereal winds?

or will I remain as scattered ash – just dust, blown away

Don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be heard

Afraid to talk, ashamed to learn

Follow the blind – not the wise

Hidden truth, my hands are tied

Birth of Prophets, prelude to war

I don’t know what to believe                  

Celestial tears fall upon my head

Flooding me with thoughts that I’ll never understand…

In the end Child,

the veil will close around me

And the scythe will claim my name

Can thoughts of hope really save me

Or do the wicked have no shame?

Fear!

Of living without feeling

Of dying without seeing

The meaning to it all!

Don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be heard

Afraid to talk, ashamed to learn

Follow the blind – not the wise

Hidden truth, my hands are tied

Birth of Prophets, prelude to war

I don’t know what to believe
