The Sound Of Silence

 The Sound Of Silence

 

In the early morning after the bombs fell through the night

In the burning distance a solitary gunshot in the fight

Hawks and doves make love selling out for the green

The theatre of the absurd war for greed the final scene

 

The sound of silence none dare to speak

The sound of silence the strong kill the weak

The sound of silence hear the brave

The sound of silence speaking through the grave

 

Millions of buffalo thunder on what remains of the plains

Memories of the ghosts of massive herds invisible stains

Lakota, Dakota, Nakota and other tribes hunt in vain

The Great Spirit is quiet a mystery none can explain

 

The sound of silence none dare to speak

The sound of silence the strong kill the weak

The sound of silence hear the brave

The sound of silence speaking through the grave

 

Pop singer singing a pop song the teenyboppers wail

Cosmetic photo shop can’t carry a tune so soon to fail

Fourteen minutes of fame all the same a whisp of air

Fading fast in the past nothing left but a broken prayer

 

The sound of silence none dare to speak

The sound of silence the strong kill the weak

The sound of silence hear the brave

The sound of silence speaking through the grave

 

Neil Young is a folk singer infused with electric juice

Neil Young is out of touch I ask “What’s the use?”

They did their best at Bob Fest they really tried

Jesus would be jamming if He wasn’t crucified

 

The super soldier walks hearing explosions and screams

Like a zombie always awake he can’t take these evil dreams

He sits on the park bench spittle runs down on his beard

Little children walk by and cry because they’re scared

 

The sound of silence none dare to speak

The sound of silence the strong kill the weak

The sound of silence hear the brave

The sound of silence speaking through the grave
