Whisper, Whisper
Whisper, whisper why so deafening?
Release the earth from its bind
Agony will never find its voice
Blood-stained soil screams your name
Raging against the fate of mankind
Whisper, whisper why so deafening?
You lure man with a hopeful, passion-fed flame,
a veil of ambition with evil just behind.
Agony will never find its voice.
You’ve swayed man’s hearts with no shame
Your knife whittles away at every mind
Whisper, whisper why so deafening?
With no thought, a child you maim,
To hatred, slaughter, and injustice all are blind
Agony will never find its voice.
The King shall make your tongue forever tame,
His voice rings out for those confined.
Whisper, whisper why so deafening?
Agony will someday find its voice
