silent planet – orphan lyrics
[verse 1]
respective perspectives worshiping directives
blindly killing for our dogma [1]
until our sons meet in the garden [2]
torches scald the night sky;
the youth rise up and set their elders to the gallows [3]
fire in the lighthouse
all our advances, a spark away from conflagration
[break]
in the night i saw you fall, oh wicked star [4]
illuminate our hate, show us who we really are
[verse 2]
books were burned away, only swords remained [5]
the prophets died for peace, stabbed by preying priests
as the wise man said i’ll keep my heart and lose my head.[6] without a neck how can i sink with a millstone to the bottom of the sea?[7]
the bottom of the sea
and i’m finding the violence, it looks like me
[chorus]
singing songs of life when all we know is death [8]
a world of orphans [9] left empty-handed
if love’s a sin i’ll become a heretic
[verse 3]
recurring intervention: [10]
framing the narrative to cleanse our tainted conscience [11]
harvesting destruction:
reaping the sow from weapons planted in the soil [12]
[bridge]
terrified little son, enc-mbered by your sword
you can hide your fear but won’t shed the sheer
weight of your own humanity – humanity
you can face me towards the mountains [13]
where i meet our mother’s gaze [14]
too blinded by this hatred to recognize your brother’s face [15]
[chorus]
singing songs of life when all we know is death
a world of orphans left empty-handed
[verse 4]
i’ll collapse, head parting from my weary shoulders
seeds of life spilling from my palms [16]
subverting love[17] will take hold in this hateful soil;
my blood is the water. inshallah, shalom
love will take hold.[18]
[breakdown outro]
love will take hold
