The Vow (Of Silence)
[Intro]
“1, 2, 3!”
[Verse 1]
Oh, are you here to help for a change?
Did you notice something that looks strange?
The village is quiet, and they chose to live that way
The Kirin are peaceful, more so than before
But they gave up speech out of fear of war
And it breaks my heart because they can’t be who they are
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh the words that I can say
And the thoughts that I can think
They tried to take it from me
They sent me off so far away
And now you’re here to hear me say
What rainbows have to do with the rain
[Chorus]
Silence takes the throne
As fear stands at it’s side
Next to it is ignorance
And the one that left is pride
Are you here to quench the flame
Let their words find their release
Will you show them how to live again
Or will they make you keep your peace?
[Verse 2]
It’s a quaint little village with a history
There were two of us and they fought, you see
And when they did the village burst into flames
We all stepped in the river after making a pact
We will never speak, and we won’t react
So the Nirik never show up again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But the words that I can say
And the thoughts that I can think
Are you gonna keep that from me?
They sent me off so far away
And now you’re here to hear me say
What rainbows have to do with the rain
[Chorus]
Silence takes the throne
As fear stands at it’s side
Next to it is ignorance
And the one that left is pride
Are you here to quench the flame
Let their words find their release
Will you show them how to live again
Or will they make you keep your peace?
[Breakdown]
“Shh…”
“Be silent…”
“Never speak again”
“I can’t take it anymore!”
“Yeah!”
[Final Chorus]
Silence takes the throne
As fear stands at it’s side
Next to it is ignorance
And the one that left is pride
Are you here to quench the flame
Let their words find their release
Will you show them how to live again
Or will they make you keep your peace?
Silence takes the throne (Silence takes the throne)
As fear stands at it’s side (As fear stands at it’s side)
Next to it is ignorance (Next to it is ignorance)
And the one that left is pride (And the one that left is pride)
Are you here to quench the flame (Are you here to quench the flame)
Let their words find their release (Let their words find their release)
Will you show them how to live again (Will you show them how to live again)
Or will they make you keep your peace? (Or will they make you keep your peace!)
“Yeah!"
[Outro]
“Oh, Jesus”
“Oh my god”
“That one hurt”
