lyrics

You who had everything to say
Did not say a thing
Not a word came across your lips

But
Your silence said it all
It was endless
Like a sunset dying on lost, forgotten ships

Chorus
On your fingers you count for months
And in the soul you count for wounds
Your silence tells a thousand bloody lies
I can see them rise
Yes I can see them rise
They rise slowly
in the bottom of your eyes

You who stole their life
Hear the echo
An echo of what once had been

And the autumn leaves that swirl around your feet
My dear
Are the shadows of the souls you've never seen

Chorus
On your fingers you count for months
And in the soul you count for wounds
Your silence tells a thousand bloody lies
I can see them rise
Yes I can see them rise
They rise slowly
in the bottom of your eyes

Bridge
Why are you so silent
Why are you so silent
soldier, soldier
Why are you so silent
Why are you so silent
soldier, soldier

Chorus
On your fingers you count for months
And in the soul you count for wounds
Your silence tells a thousand bloody lies
I can see them rise
Yes I can see them rise
They rise slowly
in the bottom of your eyes
