Silent City lyrics

In the wee hours

At week's end

When pandemonium

Loses its sting

Infrequent disturbance

Silence rules now

For most mortals

They slumber blissfully

Their stressors rest up

To renew their assault

On the morrow's wake

Few venture out now

Pandemic ignorance

Nonexpendable valued

Yet unimportant too

They who lived poorly

Flutter frantically now

Into the wee silence

Some trait tragic

A habit that betrayed

The end is swiftly equal

In a city of silence

A heartbeat can it be

The horror to recognize

Mortality is the sum

Of life's unstable balance

So precariously posed

It is the admonishment

That has rudely awakened

The long sleeping spirit

Just in time to die
