Protest The Hero - Goddess Gagged lyrics

Oh God!

The sound they must have
Heard in the distance
A wilderness of sound and
Movement repeating it'self
Across the narrows of the mountainsides
The cries of creatures crashing on cold rock
The human voices heralding the hillside

Their bellows bounding ripe with resonance
From here the unimportant call received
The all important answer
Oh goddess who bore us what we must have done

Goddess who bore us what we must have done
Bury your daughter and pray for a son

The wind and the rain
Spoke a language of wonder
To a species rising thickly to
A dialogue with thunder

In the empty space between hunger and thirst
In the empty space between better and worse
Language unravels and irony hurts

Yeah!

In the commonplace between hunger and thirst
The words that confined us
Were blessing and curse
The words that confine us
Ideas traversed the ear to hear
The song without verse
The sound of the sound of
The sound utter first
With a burst into nothing so sudden
So sudden and soft

The sound of the sound of
The sound utter first
Burst into nothing so soothing and soft

The silence inside you when
The music has stopped
The silence inside you when
The music has stopped
When the music has stopped
