Lyrics to Silent Song

Exile on the hill

Gardener in the mire

You're diggin' up a swamp

He's rising from the field

A mess of gold and green

Nightmare in the mud

There you are

There you are

There you are

There you are

Brat on borrowed ground

Poser in the grass

Tell us what you've learned

Forbidding silent walls

The beast out in the bog

Sing a mournful song

Silent song (is this what you want?)

Silent song (is this how you'd have it?)

Silent song (is this what you want?)

Silent song (is this how you'd have it?)

Never fear

I know there's work here to redeem you

Still, it's clear

There's not a word, a word that could save you

If I had a chance to see

The friends I've loved and lost

I'd beg for their return

I'll dig until I bleed

Drink until I rot

Lord I know it's wrong

So help me on (is this what you want?)

Help me on (is this how you'd have it?)

Help me on (is this what you want?)

Help me on (is this how you'd have it?)

Help me on

Help me on
