Walk The Silent Hours

(album: The Monster Roars - 2022)

Walk the silent hours
Locked in fragile blues
Close desperate eyes
You're confused

Life is so way out of tune
Avalon, there's no standing room

What do we do?
Help us survive
How do we stay alive?
Thunder may roar
Cities will fall
Shadows hide wall to wall

All unspoken words
Leave the mindscape closed
You're lost in the night
No one phoned

Babylon, four thousand years
History, drowning in tears

What do we do?
Help us survive
How do we stay alive?
Thunder may roar
Cities will fall
Shadows hide wall to wall

Count every human mistake
Where children died on the street
Daytime, nighttime, one desire
From the tempest forever and ever retreat

Don't close your eyes, it's always been there
The truth, the lies, the hours of despair

What do we do?
Help us survive
How do we stay alive?
Thunder may roar
Cities will fall
Shadows hide wall to wall

There's no such thing
As friendly fire
Under their war-torn flags
Poor men break down
Rich men conspire
Cold-blooded lies still brag
