There lay in zion
A stumbling stone
To those who will trust him
No shame at all
(They call it tolerance
Respect all thoughts
Silence is fueling
Spiritual fraud)

It shows
Death grows
Hell knows
That this silence
Oh this silence numbs the heart
Silence isn't golden
When truth is in the dark

It shows
Death grows
Hell knows
That this silence
Oh this silence numbs the heart
Silence isn't golden
When truth is in the dark

And God has held out
His hand all day long
Obstinate people
Don't care at all
(The spiritual blind man
Follows his heart
Into death's valley
Yet no one speaks out)

With sighs
Despised
Closed eyes
And this silence
Oh this silence rips apart
Silence isn't golden
When truth is in the dark
