This Long Silence - Porcupine Tree

A systematic killer

Returning from Madrid

Murdered Mozart in his garden,

Mussolini ran and hid.

He was chosen by his elders

Sitting on the shelf,

They passed his heart to Satan,

Who showered them with wealth.

A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn

Where lonely angels played

And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam

While a president decayed.

Hollow laughter from below

Cracked the sky in two

As Manson dance inside the flames

And the yellow changed to blue.

Swinging from a length of rope

Ruth Ellis blew a kiss,

Merlin spoke to Norma Jean

And granted her a wish.

Mark Chapman stared at Fantasy,

Bare wires burned his brain

As Sergeant Pepper led the band

Playing through the rain.

The third eye on the surface

Opens up my mind,

Twin visions in production,

This long silence you will find.
