Silence, it is golden
It cleanses the soul and the id
Determined to climb before it’s too late
We sail past the truth and consign ourselves to hate

Life is too short to quibble over trivial things
We only have one chance to show what we will bring
So many people only live to count what they’ve got
Until the bitter truth shows them what they have not

The vows that we take
See through to the end

Embrace the silence
Cause they will let you down
In tune with violence
Yes, they will let you down
And then they fall

And they’ll laugh when it’s over
Cursing you under their breath
Pretending to care, but always too late
We look past their flaws as self-inflicted wounds we made

Life is too short to quibble over trivial things
We only have one chance to show what we will bring
So many people only live to count what they’ve got
Until the bitter truth shows them what they have not

The lies that you speak
May ring true in the end

Embrace the silence
Cause they will let you down
In tune with violence
Yes, they will let you down
And then they fall

You can’t stop the leach
Sacrifice your blood, still they take and take and take
Time cannot be retraced
The ticking hands ring like funeral bells

Life is too short to quibble over trivial things
We only have one chance to show what we will bring
So many people only live to count what they’ve got
Until the bitter truth shows them what they have not

Do not dishonor your judgement
Never sacrifice

Embrace the silence
Cause they will let you down
In tune with violence
Yes, they will let you down

Embrace the silence
Cause they will let you down
In tune with violence
Yes, they will let you down

They will let you down
