the longest night - Magne Furuholmen

Keep your clever lines

Hold your easy rhymes

Silence everything

Silence always wins

It’s a perfect alibi —

There’s no need to analyze

It will be alright

Through the longest night

Just silence everything

As you know;

That’s how it all begins

And you know;

They can’t touch what lies within

So keep those clever lines

So nice to hide behind

Away from me

Through the longest night of our lives

Learn from my mistake;

Leave what others take

Speak when spoken to

And do what others do

Cuz silence always wins

So silence everything

It will be alright

In the morning light

Just silence everything

As you know;

They can’t touch what lies within

And you know;

That’s where it all begins

So keep your clever lines

Hold your easy rhymes

You were quick to judge

Quick to criticise

But too slow to know

What I’ve realised;

It’s the longest night of our lives
