Silence fills the streets as the last of us arrive
Silent moment for those who have returned alive
Parade of ages marching toward the blackened gate

Passing on through would seal out fate

Overwhelming silence, screaming in our ears

Of all we've seen was the worst of our fears

Walk through the door, fall through the floor

You'll find this world is now yours
With no way out, there is no doubt
This world of silence is yours


A holy shrine,
A test of time to break these walls

Who am I?
Yet I would sacrifice
Do whatever would suffice

No medals for us when we're done
We are the forgotten ones
Silence will forever follow

No bright light a dead tomorrow
