Liturgy of Silence

Written by TheoDemoya

[Intro]

Kneel to the hush that saved our kin

A sacred quiet, a sacred sin

[Verse 1]

We bless the veils, we bless the scars

We bless the hidden, distant stars

We bless the hands that dared to stray

And those that bound them anyway

[Pre-Chorus]

Between the vows of love and law

We learned the shape of flawed awe

[Chorus]

Liturgy of silence

A prayer that broke the violence

We lay our voices down to rest

Until the truth can pass the test

[Verse 2]

If someday thunder calls our name

May courage light the waiting flame

May children born of ash and grace

Stand unafraid to show their face

[Pre-Chorus]

Let mercy be the louder chord

When war resumes its hoard

[Chorus]

Liturgy of silence

A prayer that broke the violence

We lay our voices down to rest

Until the truth can pass the test

[Bridge]

And if the mother finds the gate

And if the father learns too late

Then may the child become the path 

A balance neither love nor wrath

[Final Chorus]

Liturgy of silence 

Amen to mortal guidance

The stone will sleep, the heart will wait

We close this book and guard the gate

[Outro]

The candles die, but not our fate
