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
