The Sound Of Silence


 

When heard the sound of silence broken

We spoke the words best left unspoken

And so our voiceless voice was heard

And with our cries create new words

But with knowledge as their biggest fear

They closed their minds so not to hear

What out Their ignorance to shame

When found nobody left to blame

And so we stood here all alone

Our cries ignored by everyone

Because they just could not except

The fact that they might be inept

And when they tried to make us fall

We still voiced our endless call

Wither their ignorance so bliss and free

Our knowledge relics ecstacy
