Lyrics
silence is
what was it when she died
endings are beginnings sometimes
oh the hammer flies
should we look to the ground or to the sky
look into the horse's eye
when he's saddle can he cry
i wish that he could lie
even when the spirit's gone, body survives
souls in holes
oh your hands are cold
newspapers fold
ah we're getting old
silence is our biggest crime
oh the streets are lined
traffic jams happen at five
buzzing 'round this beehive
better him than me they cry
low down low
everybody knows
where does the sorrow go
down their throat, up their nose
one man never changed the world
no matter what you've heard
heroes aren't just flags unfurled
they simply don't
make it any worse
silence is our biggest crime
