Lydia the Bard
Rule the Quiet (Pied Piper’s Alternate Universe Song)
[Intro]
No... No..
NO
[Verse One]
All these years I've sat and obeyed
As I hear every word you say
("Did you hear Pied Piper was hired by Rumpelstiltskin?")
Get used to the noise, it'll soon go away
But it's louder everyday
("I thought he got fired by Rumpelstiltskin.")
A Problem shared is a problem halved
As you sit there Unaware
("Oh my God, you're right! How embarrassing.")
That your little sin has crept through the wall
("Do you think he can hear us now?" "God, I hope not!")
And sunk under my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
You say just ignore, close the door as if I don't hear
Mind echos with your noise, as voice tells me all your fears
So full up with you that I'm too afraid to-
Make my own sound
No one seems to care what I want and what I need
A second to be silent, have some quiet, feel the noise recede
And finally take a breath as I'm only hearing me
The only noise is..
ME!
[Chorus]
Give me silence, I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak
Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
[Verse Two]
Time you learn to be seen and not heard
Let's not hear another word
Don't want to know what you do where you go
So give me a silent show
If a tree were to fall and no one was there
Would it make a sound at all?
The answers yes, worry less bout the tree
And more bout those in your halls
[Pre-Chorus]
Grew up in this kingdom, as the walls whispered desperately
For people I obeyed, masquerade, it took all of me
To know what I knew and to never ever say a word
Heard every crack that appeared over all these years
The ones brought by plaster and ones bought through pain and tears
I left them to break, if the magics gone then it can't hurt me
[Chorus]
Give me silence, I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak
Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
[Bridge]
And when I'm through
Silence falls and I'm made anew
Use your words dear
Oh wait you can't
I can finally hear now that you've stopped talking
At last
I hear-
ΜΕ
[Chorus]
Give me silence
I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak, Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
GIVE ME SILENCE
I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak, Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
