Lyrics
The Oracle of Silence
The Oracle of Silence
A whirlwind from the south
A grievous vision shown me
Turns my daylight into night
I hear crying in the streets
With the tearing down of walls
The people start to panic
As the city starts to fall
Watchman, what of the night?
Is there a sign of the morning light?
Watchman, you'll be the first to know
Tell me what you see
Which way the wind will blow
In the valley of visions
This nightmare unfolds
I see portents of disaster
No stone is left unturned
No hope of turning back
Already gone to far
Let us eat, drink, be merry
For tomorrow we die
But You will be a refuge
A shelter from the storm
A light amidst the darkness
Out strength when hope is gone
In the valley of confusion
When trouble rules the day
With the shaking of foundations
Your Word will be our stay
