Then all was silent
For there was a relentless
Hysteria of calm
Investing a barbarism
Of grotesque stillness
That lay about a treachery
Of gross tranquility
In the midst of human kind
All are lost for words in 2061
All, all, all are dumb in 2061
For I have seen it, the silence

Then all was silent
For there was a relentless
Hysteria of calm
Investing a barbarism
Of grotesque stillness
That lay about a treachery
Of gross tranquility
In the midst of human kind
All are lost for words in 2061
All, all, all are dumb in 2061
For I have seen it, the silence
