Moment's Silence [Common Tongue] lyrics

When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity

Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity

A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly

A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on

Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody

All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy

A squall, and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety

A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me

When the meaning is gone

There is clarity

And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me

And it's easy done

Our little remedy

And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me

What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally

Those that would view the same we do through their deformity

Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority

This moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me

Since it all begun

To its reckoning

There the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me

Be thankful some know it lovingly

There the reason comes in the common tongue of your loving me

Like a heathen clung to the homily

Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me

So summon on the pearl rosary

Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me
