Amidst the restless nights I walk alone
weaving past the streets of cobblestone
Toting on my mind is a notion overlooked,
I'm a connoisseur of allegory and oftentimes rebuke
"You ignorants! You do not know,
Like an ailment, silence grows
and without haste, it will devour you,
'til the words once chromatic lose its hue"
Yet my forewarning like fine raindrops fell
Resonated not, never even a moment to dwell
as to that exploit perforated an ephipany:
My voice will never be heard, that is ought to be;
and my words will nevermore transpierce thee,
For I am silence and silence is me.

Amidst the restless nights I walk alone
weaving past the streets of cobblestone
Toting on my mind is a notion overlooked,
I'm a connoisseur of allegory and oftentimes rebuke
"You ignorants! You do not know,
Like an ailment, silence grows
and without haste, it will devour you,
'til the words once chromatic lose its hue"
Yet my forewarning like fine raindrops fell
Resonated not, never even a moment to dwell
as to that exploit perforated an ephipany:
My voice will never be heard, that is ought to be;
and my words will nevermore transpierce thee,
For I am silence and silence is me.
