World Fell Silent Lyrics

When the cause is just but lost

Like then

When the world fell silent

It's too late to count the cost

Of back then

The sergeant major tries to rouse the throng

Turns on the radio but sings a different song

The grandmaster knows his plan is wrong

And all that's left to do is move the pawns along

When the cause is just but lost

Like then

When the world fell silent

It's too late to count the cost

Of back then

The quartermaster starts to check the store

Turns on the radio to alleviate the chore

Pools of Jagermeister spilt upon the floor

Goes to grab his cane before he slams the door

When the cause is just but lost

Like then

When the world fell silent

It's too late to count the cost

Of back then

The wounds run deep

And the world fell silent
