So this is silence

So this is silence
So this is silence
Listen... the sound of laughter
The frenzy and blind violence of fear
Alone again with light and silence
Alone again with the skies

Through air that's crystal black ink shadows
As sharp as the thickest thorn and the ice
She moves painless, slow and flowing
Across the wild and trembling path
And the headless clay woman's
Motionless beauty shines

An old man staring through the night
Saw the fire of devotion
The faith of the blind
Watching the world turning
Weaving a rope of sand
So show me the untangled man
Tell me where he is
If you can

I search my mind with time to kill
And when I call your name you answer me
And your voice seems to set me free

I could live in the space
Between his heartbeats
