Silent Anthem

I'm not singing this song like it’s fading in the background
I'm not singing this song like it’s going to be the last time

The first note of the melody has rung out too much of the divine
The curse is the end of the verse with a thunderous voice, but you draw the line
Just silence the beauty and fill the world with pain
Just violence and chaos, where all is lost and vain

My heart still echoes the words You burned inside that are endless
The anthem of heaven
But if you silence this song the rocks will cry out
The anthem of heaven

The chord rings but you want to hear a new song, a chorus to the dirt
Discordant anthems of melodic cancer rise to fall before eternity
You filled us with screams of symphonic pain
You love the broken voice
We’re screaming screams of symphonic pain

My heart still echoes the words You burned inside that are endless
The anthem of heaven
But if you silence this song the rocks will cry out
The anthem of heaven

I'm not singing this song like it’s fading in the background
I'm not singing this song like it’s going to be the last time
When this poor broken frame lies silent in the grave
I’ll rise to hear of the song of sinners saved

My heart still echoes the words You burned inside that are endless
The anthem of heaven
But if you silence this song the rocks will cry out
The anthem of heaven
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
