Words down this crystal lane* Spread like long shadows through One law friend to the rich The next one no one knew Hung for a sheep or lamb Our hero knocks but once One knock worth two pressed men Our doors burst open then
Silent systems breaking down Over the windows in my soul We'll now betray this design This old house and broken home Silent systems breaking down Silent systems breaking down
Mind your days in the sun Secret until you're told Silent in your consent Gold in your chest this went On horseback and hellbound Son until he takes a wife Our friend spun silver voice Reflects upon his choice
Lost in the telling found Inside the lion's den Our hero in his church Reflects upon his end Kneel down upon this flame But do not speak or follow New logs but no new laws Lost in this ancient cause
Silent systems breaking down Arrow pare right on my soul Share this certain favorite sign And restore his rightful home Silent systems breaking down Silent systems breaking down Silent systems breaking down Silent systems breaking down
