I must ask you to proceed from here in complete silence... Can you tell who has the loudest voice here? Do you notice who here isn't speaking? Through the smallest movement of your eyelids There's a secret only I can see and I tried to gather up this weight to hold you But I couldn't find the words to match it They rage on you with the loudest voice here I don't even summon up a whisper I tried to lift this weight in silence Tried to walk this road in silence Tried to shout so loud in silence But no one could hear the thought I held to you I wrote a song to honor your trial And another about the season's passing But I never wrote a song that cut through To the silence at the center of it Such a perfect form I perceived in silence Such a beauty i could not describe it Such a weight I had no words to fight it And you will not hear the way it holds me Oh, in silence Oh, in silence Oh, in silence Your enemy plays the game of virtue He rages with the loudest voice too In public squares he seeks to shame you But he cannot penetrate the part of you That will break his hold in silence That will stay this breach in silence That will hold the castle longer Til no one can hear the way we loved her
