Silence - Juliette Gréco

Thunder from afar.

Above a glaring star

The wings spring up from out of nowhere

Calm before the storm.

Seasons acting as they want

Nobody knows nothingness is marching on

The sky has turned to grey.

The sun has gone another way

Seems like something wicked’s coming up today

Blocked and blinded minds have never seen the signs

The ends been drawing near this time

From the past to the question what will be

Has never been an open mind to see

The last way out from our destiny

After all the hurt silence of the world’s

Waking up the universe

Natural purge

Back to a new beginning

Mankind’s on the edge of existence

I’m watching from a distance

Where many people’ve gone before

Walls are tumbling down

Mankind’s on the run

A higher force has taken over

And nothingness is marching on

After all the hurt silence of the world’s

Waking up the universe

Natural purge

Back to a new beginning

Timeless we thought our life would be

Will only be a memory

Bow to the inevitable

The human race has to pay its price

Sorrow and pain could never repair

The damage to the world around us

Sair pollution, exploitation and the will for alteration

Step by step into nothingness

And nothingness is marching on

After all the hurt silence of the world’s

Waking up the universe

Natural purge

Back to a new beginning
