Fire on the ocean
Reprisal in motion
From the quiet awake

The sins of the father
Are hitting me harder
Every strike I take

The silence is deafening
Don’t say a word

The venom inside us
Strives to deny us
Just a moment’s peace

From ocean to land we
Are learning to stand on
Our own two feet

Not to be heard
Don’t say a word
Restrain
Cut out the phrase
Only a haze
Remains

The silence is deafening
Don’t say a word

These syllables slither
Like snakes in the sand
These words they will wither
The world in your hands

You are the voice in the song yeah
It's yours when you sing along

The silence is deafening
Don’t say a word

You are the voice in the song, yeah
It’s yours when you sing along
