Silence, it is golden It cleanses the soul and the id Determined to climb before it’s too late We sail past the truth and consign ourselves to hate Life is too short to quibble over trivial things We only have one chance to show what we will bring So many people only live to count what they’ve got Until the bitter truth shows them what they have not The vows that we take See through to the end Embrace the silence Cause they will let you down In tune with violence Yes, they will let you down And then they fall And they’ll laugh when it’s over Cursing you under their breath Pretending to care, but always too late We look past their flaws as self-inflicted wounds we made Life is too short to quibble over trivial things We only have one chance to show what we will bring So many people only live to count what they’ve got Until the bitter truth shows them what they have not The lies that you speak May ring true in the end Embrace the silence Cause they will let you down In tune with violence Yes, they will let you down And then they fall You can’t stop the leach Sacrifice your blood, still they take and take and take Time cannot be retraced The ticking hands ring like funeral bells Life is too short to quibble over trivial things We only have one chance to show what we will bring So many people only live to count what they’ve got Until the bitter truth shows them what they have not Do not dishonor your judgement Never sacrifice Embrace the silence Cause they will let you down In tune with violence Yes, they will let you down Embrace the silence Cause they will let you down In tune with violence Yes, they will let you down They will let you down
