The Great White Silence - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

The cruel great white silence

Crawls in from the dark

Crushes your soul

Cripples your heart

And it’s gone

The brutal cold violence

Of your last remark

Hangs in the void

Eclipses the spark

And it’s gone

The dull great white silence

That ends the affair

It deadens the senses

Freezes the air

And it’s gone

Of all life’s illusions

Regret is the one

That tortures and haunts

Each deed that is done

And it’s gone

No light in the distance

To call from afar

Extinguished, forgotten

Remains as a scar

And it’s gone

The cruel great white silence

Crawls in from the dark

Crushing your soul

Crippling your heart

And it’s gone
