Act of Silence Lyrics

Looking out the window I see a promised

Land of men so proud and dishonest

Only four summers behind and still she has to hide

From the true nature of mankind

How can you live

With such blind eyes and no conscience

How can you stand

Seeing that truth in the child's face

And every moment we spend by doing nothing to help

We might as well be hitting that child ourselves

With the act of silence

We contribute to violence

That can't go on, go on no more

With all the progress

Where's the success

How can we ignore the pain

So take a stand when you can

As the united one we have the winning hand

We have the winning hand

In the safe of her home and public everyday

She feels the shame while hiding the pain

The parental advice was to hide and lie

Out of sight and out of mind

With the act of silence

We contribute to violence

That can't go on, go on no more

With all the progress

Where's the success

How can we ignore the pain

So take a stand when you can

As the united one we have the winning hand

No control of the primal urges

A need so strong and urgent

Seeing the chance to seize it

Once more, comply

To the act of violence

All who oppose are silenced

A soul so weak, diminished

A burden on us all

With the act of silence

We contribute to violence

That can't go on, go on no more

With all the progress

Where's the success

How can we ignore the pain

So take a stand when you can

As the united one we have the winning hand

We have the winning hand

Looking out the window, what do you see

Is it land of hope or hypocrisy

To each their own, eye for an eye

Leads to nothing but pain, a nation so blind
