The City Lies in Utter Silence Lyrics

Silence

Absent are any signs of Life
A nameless City under a cloud-laden Sky
Dwelling aimless in vain existence
Half-awake, half-alive, half deceased

Slumber in dark sinister dreams

No expectations for a Sun to shine
(An) Image of the Sun just a fading Memory
Only a dim remembrance
Of how things once had been

Slumber in dark sinister dreams
An unchanging hollow Existence

Above the dreaming dead-like Place
An ancient fortress towered in the Sky
Erected in Colors of grey and black
From Bricks of Marble and Iron

Frozen in sheer terror
The Fear plainly in their eyes

Like walking on a Fog
No Sound to be heard
The City had fallen in Silence

Like walking on a Fog
The Figures hover through Streets
No Movement to be noticed
No Sound to be heard
Being Human only in shape, but with no Faces to be seen
Black against a grey sunless Sky
The City had fallen in utter Silence

Under an everlasting sunless sky
with clouds of grey
No Name to call this Place

The procession begins, the Bell is sounding
Something unworldly, an echoing noise
More to be felt then something to be heard
Like a Mist of Sound oozing down

After the Sound fades they emerged
Procession slowly down into the alley
From the Gate they came a Line of hooded Figures
Clad in grey, black and white

Slumber in dark sinister dreams
An unchanging hollow Existence

Above the dreaming dead-like Place
An ancient fortress towered in the Sky
Erected in Colors of grey and black
From Bricks of Marble and Iron
