Lyrics

Walk the silent hours

Reflecting on quiet and contemplative moments.

Locked in fragile blues

Feeling emotionally vulnerable and delicate.

Close desperate eyes

Closing one's eyes in a state of desperation.

You're confused

Experiencing confusion.


Life is so way out of tune

Life feels disordered and dissonant.

Avalon there's no standing room

Avalon symbolizes a mythical place where there's no space.


What do we do?

Pleading for guidance or assistance.

Help us survive

Requesting help to survive.

How do we stay alive?

Questioning how to endure and continue living.

Thunder may roar

Acknowledging the potential for intense challenges (thunder).

Cities will fall

Anticipating the collapse of cities.

Shadows hide wall to wall

Darkness and secrecy cover everything.


All unspoken words

Unspoken thoughts and emotions remain unexpressed.

Leave the mindscape closed

The inner landscape is kept hidden.

You're lost in the night

Feeling adrift and disoriented during the night.

No one phoned

No communication or connection from others.


Babylon, four thousand years

Referencing the historical city Babylon and its long existence.

History, drowning in tears

History marked by sorrow and tears.


Count every human mistake

Reflecting on human errors and misjudgments.

Where children died on the street

Recalling tragedies where children lost their lives.

Daytime, nighttime, one desire

Desiring peace amidst the turmoil day and night.

From the tempest forever and ever retreat

Seeking refuge from a never-ending storm.


Don't close your eyes, it's always been there

Encouraging to face reality, whether pleasant or not.

The truth, the lies, the hours of despair

Recognizing the coexistence of truth, lies, and moments of despair.


There's no such thing

Rejecting the notion of "friendly fire" in conflicts.

As friendly fire

War-related concept emphasizing harm caused by allies.

Under their war-torn flags

Nations and their symbols affected by the ravages of war.

Poor men break down

Highlighting the impact of conflict on the less privileged.

Rich men conspire

Suggesting collaboration among the wealthy in plotting schemes.

Cold-blooded lies still brag

Emphasizing the persistence of deceitful narratives.
