The drum of your silence beats so loud
Its music I still can’t figure out
It is to my ears the sounds of unending wars
And to my heart the piercing of a thousand swords
Woe betide me for not having to hear your voice
Those gentle words that are to my ears healing oil
Would not it be better I died in wars than live and not hear you speak
For not even love songs from a million friends can replace what it brings
Speak out my love for my soul perishes slowly
Nothing matters to it now than t hear you talking
Speak out my love for I am no longer living
Whisper to me for this silence is killing me
