As Silence Took You Songtext
von Green Carnation

A lion could rip the flesh right off your bones
A mother the same, she could do it with six simple words
The length she′d go is non-negotiable
A knife through the heart, "I am so disappointed in you"

I come with burden, I come with great concern, a constant worry
A locust in the serpent's eye
Your watch has ended, but I feel that you are still here with me
I never got to say goodbye
As silence took you

I stumble over my feet and count the moons
Another attempt, I know what I was missing
There is no reason to deny the forgivable sinner, the equation adds up
This is what you have brought to life


I come with burden, I come with great concern, a constant worry
A locust in the serpent′s eye
Your watch has ended, but I feel that you are still here with me
I never got to say goodbye
As silence took you

I step forth from the shadows
To taste the fruit that you had left behind
My life
As I curse the hole I'm stuck in
I know now what you wanted me to see
My life

There was no limit to your compassion
I was just too blind to see!

I come with burden, I come with great concern, a constant worry
A locust in the serpent's eye
Your watch has ended, but I feel that you are still here with me
I never got to say goodbye
As silence took you
