lyrics

Silence

We had a life, simple and easy
A home, comfortable and warm
We had a close intimate relation
Replaced by a screen and keyboard
----
We're convinced by a fake… sybaritic lifestyle
Artificial money-oriented
We are busy collecting what we might need
Consuming till we bleed

***
Greed… invades us
Minds… deceive us
Hearts are dying
While we keep watching in silence
Weak… our faith now
God… divides us
Men are fighting
Escaping.. With nowhere to go

***
Lost in an ocean, ocean of choices
Markets full of hypnotized eyes
Everyone count, collect and smile
While a starvation Poster is mourning above 
----
Is it really, really what we need
We lack sympathy, losing resistance
Surrounded by a wall of indifference
A ladder of love can lead us above 

***
Greed… invades us
Hate… blinds us
Hearts are dying
While we keep watching in silence
Weak… our faith now
Gods… divide us
Men are fighting
Escaping.. with nowhere to go
