Orphan Lyrics by Silent Planet

Everything Was Sound

2016

[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
Respective perspectives worshiping directives
Blindly killing for our dogma until our sons meet in the garden
Torches scald the night sky
The youth rise up and set their elders to the gallows
Fire in the lighthouse
All our advances, a spark away from conflagration

[Interlude: Garrett Russell]
In the night, I saw you fall, oh, wicked star
Illuminate our hate, show us who we really are

[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Books were burned away
Only swords remained
The prophets died for peace
Stabbed by preying priests
As the wise man said
"I'll keep my heart and lose my head"
Without a neck how can I sink
With a millstone to the bottom of the sea?
The bottom of the sea
And I'm finding the violence, it looks like me

[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell]
Singing songs of life
When all we know is death [8]
A world of orphans
Left empty-handed
If love's a sin, I'll become a heretic

[Verse 3: Garrett Russell]
Recurring intervention
Framing the narrative to cleanse our tainted conscience
Harvesting destruction
Reaping the sow from weapons planted in the soil

[Bridge: Garrett Russell]
Terrified little son
Encumbered by your sword
You can hide your fear but won't shed the sheer
Weight of your own humanity, humanity
You can face me towards the mountains where I meet our mother's gaze
Too blinded by this hatred to recognize your brother's face

[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton]
Singing songs of life
When all we know is death
A world of orphans
Left empty-handed

[Outro: Garrett Russell]
I'll collapse, head parting from my weary shoulders
Seeds of life spilling from my palms
Subverting love will take hold in this hateful soil
My blood is the water
Inshallah, Shalom
Love will take hold
