Silent Systems Lyrics

Words down this crystal lane

Spread like long shadows through

One law friend to the rich

The next one no-one knew

Hung for a sheep or lamb

Our hero knocks but once

One knock worth two pressed men

Our doors burst open then



Silent systems breakin' down

Over the windows in my soul

We'll now betray this design

This old house and broken home

Silent systems breakin' down

Silent systems breakin' down



Mind your days in the sun

Secret until you're told

Silent in your consent

Gold in your chest this went

On horseback and hellbound

Son 'til he takes a wife

Our friend spun silver voice

Reflects upon his choice



Lost in the telling found

Inside the lion's den

Our hero in his church

Reflects upon his end

Kneel down upon this flame

But do not speak a file

New logs but no new laws

Lost in this ancient cause



Silent systems breakin' down

Arrow pare right on my soul

Share this certain favorite sign

Every step is right from home

Silent systems breakin' down

Silent systems breakin' down

Silent systems breakin' down

Silent systems breakin' down
