Quiet, I am sleeping
In here, we need a little hope
For years, I've been sleeping
Helpless, couldn't tell a soul
Be ashamed, mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see, behind me
Silent, metal mercies
Castrate, boys to the bone
Jesus, are you listening?
Up there, to anyone at all
We are the fossils
The relics of our time
We mutilate the meanings
So they're easy to deny
Be ashamed, mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see, behind me
Quiet, I am sleeping
Quiet, I am sleeping
Quiet, I don't trust you
I can't hear you
Be ashamed, mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see, behind me
Behind me, the grace of falling snow
Cover up everything you know
Come save me from the awful sound
Of nothing
