[Verse 1]
One more dead in the arms of a superpower
Gold to be made, no, the world ain't gonna hear about it
Trust is bought by a smile on a pretty face
Nothin' for a name, dead pride, and shame to waste

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the western waters guide me blind
Give me something real, something to make right

[Interlude]
Crippling the minds, they hide behind the millions of us
Drunken on the steps are high, this fall their bones will open

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
We are the sound and silence

[Verse 2]
Grind the tale into the echo of a modern eye
Smoke from the sides come runnin' from the wild fire

[Pre-Chorus]
So let the western waters guide me blind
If there's something real, it's calling "Ohh"
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
We are the sound and silence

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na, na-na-na-nah-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-nah-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Ohh-oh!)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
We are the sound and silence

[Outro]
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-nah-na)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-nah-na)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh-oh
(Na-na-na, na-na)
We are the sound and silence
