The Void from Which No Sound Escapes - Rivers of Nihil

Away from here

No sound to hear

No sound

Away from here

Away from here

No sound to hear

All of this work

I want you to remain here

Away from here

I tear out my being (Away from here)

I feed it to my children (Away from here)

All of this work

I want you to remain here

Away from here

No escape

This void keeps gripping tighter

Should I let it stay?

It might just swallow me whole

Running away, running away

I want you to remain

I tear out my being

And feed it to my children

It keeps them sick with poison

Addicted to these noises

Not a single sound

Escapes this void, which cannot be found

Speak louder so this voice will carry

Speak now before we get too carried away

What did you expect to hear?

A voice so loud and so clear

Breathing in and out a sigh of

Sweet relief tonight

What did you expect to be?

But a cynical man, just like me

Drifting in and out of life

Like curious moonlight

When the fires fade

And the river’s dry

When you speak my name

Like a weighted sigh

Why don’t you hear

The whisper in the void?

That we made real today

Not a single sound

Escapes this void, which cannot be found

Speak louder so this voice will carry

Speak now before we all get carried away

When the fire’s fade

And the river’s dry

When you speak my name

Just to say, «Goodbye»

I’m what you fear

A whisper in the void

With no escape, no escape

When the fires fade

And the river’s dry

When you speak my name

Like a weighted sigh

Why don’t you hear

The whisper in the void?

That we made real today
