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.
