The sweet, sweet sound of silence
I long to hear your voice
I desire
To cease my pain and violence
In the only way I know
I've made my only choice
Listen to my dream fly through the wind
Hear my cry

Amidst the cruel dawn, the moon tauntingly rises once again
Why can't I hear your voice anymore?
Why have you left me?

Amidst the cruel dawn your body floats so lifelessly onto the shore
Why can't you come to be anymore?
Why have you left me?

The sweet, sweet sound of silence
I long to hear your voice
I require
To leave this coil so dire
In the only way I know
I've made my only choice
Listen to my dream fly through the wind
Let me die
Amidst the sunrise the candlelight vanishes and my world is no more
Why can't you stay with me anymore?
Why have you left me?

Amidst the sunrise the tide will continue to sweep away all of our dreams
Why do you not exist anymore?
Why can't you come to me, sweet sound of silence?
I long to hear your voice
Take me higher
And set this world on fire
In the only way we know
I've made my only choice
Listen to my dream fly through the wind
To the skies
