Then There Was Silence

by Dead Animal Assembly Plant

on All My Heroes Are Dead (2012)

And then there was silence
Said the drowning man
As his lungs filled up
He grabbed my hand

And he pulled me down
Into the drink
Where rapture sells
And the wicked sink

And then there was silence
Said the dying man
His skin turn softs
With a heart of sand

As it pour out and cracked the ground
He left this place - without a sound

And then there was silence
It came from you and me
We stared at each other
Though we could not see

The only difference between us and him
Is a thing red line - stretched out way too thin

And after all is said and done
As our eyes blister from the sun
What's called so soon is here at last
How could I've known - it come so fast

And then there was silence
Whispered the choking man
Gasping for air but we
Could not meet his demand

With eyes now empty
We could not make sense
Who was this dying man
Left here in silence?

And then there was silence...
