Silent Stream Songtext
von The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A silent voice is clearly heard
Commands that I should see
In thoughts that turn to simple words
And words that turn to seeds
And seeds will turn to trees

A winter wind is blowing fears
That never cross the sea
A war will come to change this land
Of this I promise thee
Of this I promise thee

Oh, cold machine and faulted plans
That have no faith, it seems
Exist to crush the will of man
By killing every dream
By killing every dream

It′s only words
A song that I sing


It's only words
A song that I sing
Go back to sleep
For sleep that I bring

And dream beside the water′s edge
A drink before this stream
And float my soul away from here
The darkness wars will bring
The sad songs you shall sing

Don't fool yourself 'cause this day comes
Has come, but you don′t care
Don′t say I didn't warn you all
That you were not aware
And life just isn′t fair

What will it take before you see?
The sight of losing me
And then the truth shall be your sword
The sword shall set you free
In pieces, you shall be


But these are just words
A song that I sing
So go back to sleep
It's sleep that I bring
Just go back to sleep
It′s sleep that I bring
