We shut our eyes to the signs we saw,

Turned away from the truth we once knew.

Now the earth is cracked, and hearts are raw,

We’ve lost the love, the color, the hue.

(Pre-Chorus)

We were loud when we should have been still,

We chased the wrong dreams, against our will.

(Chorus)

Silent cries, no one hears,

We built this world on hopes and fears.

Now the walls have all come down,

Silent cries, the deafening sound.

(Verse 2)

The rivers ran dry, the skies turned gray,

We kept on walking, didn’t look back.

Now there’s nothing left, we’ve lost our way,

The world’s a shadow, painted black.

(Bridge)

The tears we shed don’t wash away,

The time we wasted, it’s gone astray.

Now we stand in the dust, so cold,

Holding onto memories, so old.

(Chorus)

Silent cries, no one hears,

We built this world on hopes and fears.

Now the walls have all come down,

Silent cries, the deafening sound.

No more voices to call our name,

No more light to end this pain.

Silent cries, the end of the road,

A world in ruins, we’ve lost our hold.

Silent cries, no one hears,

We built this world on hopes and fears.

Now the walls have all come down,

Silent cries, the deafening sound.

Silent cries, we’re standing still,

In the ashes of the dreams we built.
