Silence reigns around these parts
While daylight sleeps, its presence unknown
The souls that yet inhabit this earth
Are deafened by the noise that silence brings
Blinded by the darkness of no day
The sheer curtain that acts as a covering for their eyes
Is thicker that they'll ever realise
Reality seems so far removed
Yet lurks so close that it is easily ignored
Their non-lives are a study in contradictions
Their death ever nearing the never to be
Their intellect promises no security
Yet it is all that they hold dear
Those who wish to make it out of here must die
They must embrace what is scorned
They must let go of what they value
To gain that which they will treasure
They must break the reign of silence
They must scream
JESUS!

great line!!!


Not too certain of the motivation behind screaming "JESUS"

It's difficult to know if it's a plea or a blasphemy.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
