The Silence
The last note played, And the noise died down. Silence began To tell the tale Of souls that were slayed And faces that frown-- As the shit hits the fan You learn how to fail! The silence told Of torture and pain And notes That killed the soul. Hushed whispers are gold, And tears are the rain, Love floats As it reaches its goal. The silence spoke Of old time rock and roll And the smiles That once decorated many a face. The hearts were broke, And black as coal, And it went on for awhile, Until every man lost his grace.
