Lyrics

Silent Falls The NightSilent falls the night
Over the farm and city
A merciless compressor
Flattening without pity
Cruising the highway
Long after dark
Music's blasting but we're lost and empty
Looking for a spark
Looking into the headlights
Searching for a sign
We could stare until we were blinded
'Cause there's nothing there to divine

That's the way it is
There's nothing up ahead
You're born to grow and give
And then one day you're dead
But don't let it get you down
Though it's pointless in the end
It may be a crushing weight
But you don't have to bend

You don't have to bend

Silent falls the night
Over a world of fear
On the brink of extinction
Morals disappear
Sitting in a circle
In an altered state
Discussing (the) evils of society
Using the rhetoric of hate
We escape this world of confusion
But only on its terms
We're in a hurry to escape ourselves --
In a hurry to feed the worms

That's the way it is
There's nothing up ahead
You're born to grow and give
And then one day you're dead
But don't let it get you down
Though it's pointless in the end
It may be a crushing weight
But you don't have to bend

You don't have to bend

That's the way it is
There's nothing up ahead
You're born to grow and give
And then one day you're dead
But don't let it get you down
Though it's pointless in the end
It may be a crushing weight
But you don't have to bend

You don't have to bend
