Silent Running
Escape the Echoes: A Call for Freedom Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
Take the children and yourself and hide out in the cellar.
Take refuge with the children in the cellar as the fighting approaches.
By now the fighting will be close at hand.
Anticipating that the conflict will soon be nearby.
Don't believe the church and state and everything they tell you.
Be skeptical of information from the church, state, and authority figures.
Believe in me, I'm with the high command.
Trust in the speaker, who claims to be connected to a higher command or authority.
Can you hear me?
Repeatedly asking if the listener can hear the speaker running and calling, suggesting urgency and a need for communication.
Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-Can you hear me?
-Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway.
There's a weapon inside the doorway for emergency use.
Use it only in emergency.
Emphasizing the importance of using the weapon only in dire situations.
Better you should pray to God, the father,
Suggesting reliance on spiritual guidance in times of trouble.
and the spirit will guide you and protect you from up here.
-Can you hear me?
Continued urgency in asking if the listener can hear the speaker.
Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-Can you hear me?
-Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-Swear allegiance to the flag. Whatever flag they offer.
Advocating allegiance to any flag presented without revealing true feelings.
Never hint at what you really feel.
Encouraging the suppression of genuine emotions.
Teach the children quietly for someday sons and daughters,
Teaching children quietly, implying the need for future generations to resist when the current generation failed to act.
will rise and fight while we stood still.
-Can you hear me?
Repetition of the urgent plea to hear the speaker running and calling.
Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-Can you hear me?
-Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-Can you hear me?
Continued urgency in asking if the listener can hear the speaker.
Can you hear me running?
-Can you hear me running,
-can you hear me calling you?
-Can you hear me running?
Repetition of the theme, with the speaker now asking if they can be heard while running and calling.
(can you hear me calling you?)
-(can you hear me)
-Hear me calling you.
Final repetition of the plea, emphasizing the act of calling the listener.
(Can you hear me running?)
-Hear me running back
-(Can you hear me running?)
-Hear me running
-Calling you, calling you.
