We're living underneath the land of sorrow
I can hear the bombs rain down
And how do I explain there's no tomorrow
I can hardly make a sound
Dead silence, a fate we can't escape
Till death do us part in the end
They're marching up the main street as my heart beats
Louder than machine gun fire
The sound of all the sirens
Sing like violins, ratting the cold barbed wire
I heard the soldiers say "Don't let him get away!"
But I could not escape their bullets and grenades
A casualty of war? A victim of mistake?
Another widow has been made
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away.
Dead silence, a fate we can't escape
Till death do us part in the end
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, no time to be afraid,
My love, I will see you again
Fly away like the wind
Some things God can't forgive
Why is war justified
While the innocent die?
They can't tear us apart,
I'll still live in your heart
If your spirit gives in,
Don't surrender your love
And the world will survive
If we stand side by side
One day hope will arrive
Now I must say goodbye
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, a fate we can't escape
Till death do us part in the end
Dead silence will come to rescue me
When violence has took this world away
Dead silence, no time to be afraid,
My love, I will see you again
