Shrouded and quiet He stands in silence He searches for nothing For he knows no one Dark and cold, all alone All he's known, silent darkness He doesn't move, never lingers Here he stands, in the silence Like a statue of marble Carved with beauty He doesn't crave, never wonders How it feels to love another Entombed by his demons he is sealed Frozen in time he is turned to steel Chipping and rusting, he begins to weather Until a crack appears, breaking the tether A shadow paints itself among darkness And the statue creaks in the silence The sound reverberates in the hollow And the statue awakes in the grotto He hears a voice, he hears the birds He hears the water, and how it roars He hears the wind, he hears the storm He breaks the silence and cant take anymore The silence his home, now destroyed He opens his eyes awakening his mind He sees the meaning of beauty for the first time He looks upon the shadow and feels its design As he moves, the statue crumbles He reaches out, his knees tremble He feels fear and doesn't know why His tears fall into the night sky She stands before the crumbled statue Seeing man concealed within the stones He peers through the mask and silently wonders He sees her shadow and hears the looming thunder The silence is broken, the statue has crumbled The darkness is torn, the ground ripped asunder Silent and frozen, dark and cold Together they forge the land and mold Their own perfect world, in the silence |
