Dread Silence Lyrics

DREAD SILENCE
WELL YOU FELL ON ME LIKE FURY, LIKE A RAPTOR TO HER PREY
I FELT YOUR TALONS DEEP, AND I SURRENDERED TO THE FRAY
YOU DREW YOUR LIPS SO CLOSE AS IF TO WHISPER IN MY EAR
A SMILE CARESSED THE MOUTH HOLDING THE WORDS I LONGED TO HEAR
BUT OH…DREAD SILENCE FROM YOU
A LOW…DREAD SILENCE OVER YOU
WELL I LAURELED YOU WITH LOVE, I GAVE YOU TO MY HEART
AND ONCE YOU GOT THE KEYS, YOU STARTED TEARING IT APART
I SPUN YOU ‘ROUND TO FACE ME, STARING DEEP INTO THOSE EYES
IMPLORED YOUR SOUL TO TELL ME WHY IT’D GIVEN ONLY LIES
BUT OH…DREAD SILENCE FROM YOU
A LOW…DREAD SILENCE OVER YOU
