She tests every word like a fine wine
She holds every thought like her last dime
You could hear a pin drop from miles away
You could hear a heart stop, as plain as day
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Where are the dreams we were after?
Where is the joy and the laughter?
Were they only habits, we were doomed to lose
Or is destiny not ours to choose?
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Desperate measures come from desperate times
I don't regret what I have done
If my actions make you speak your mind
Angry words are better than none
Chorus: (## 1ST three lines sung a Capella ##)
We live in a world where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
