What a breathtaking whisper
A sound of collapse
A sound of disappearance
What a saddening display
A moment lifeless
A moment of silence

What a mindless act
To disappear into darkness
To wish for politeness
Yet not act with kindness
Did you expect a different reception?
Did you expect them to kneel at your feet?
Did you expect them to long for you?
Or did you plan your own defeat

The words from his mouth were like molten lava to our feet
We shook with anger and with hatred
We wished for a new beginning
One without such treason on humanity
Our lives seemed so meaningless in these eyes
But we understood our position
And we recognized our opposition
And we gathered our ammunition
As we longed for recognition

We started the act
We begun to look at the horizon
The flood had started
And the flood wouldn't end
As long as we continued our lives
The way we desired
His filth was no longer required
We had rid ourselves of our sins

What a breathtaking message
A message of collapse
A message of disappearance
What a heartbreaking display
A moment of silence
A moment of silence

And the sound of silence spoke ever stronger to me
And the sound of silence spoke for every one I'll see
And the sound of silence broke the walls we've built
And we know ourselves we were just longing to be freed

This is our flood
