A silent voice is clearly heard Commands that I should see In thoughts that turn to simple words And words that turn to seeds And seeds will turn to trees ♪ A winter wind is blowing fears That never cross the sea A war will come to change this land Of this I promise thee Of this I promise thee ♪ Oh, cold machine and faulted plans That have no faith, it seems Exist to crush the will of man By killing every dream By killing every dream It's only words A song that I sing ♪ It's only words A song that I sing Go back to sleep For sleep that I bring ♪ And dream beside the water's edge A drink before this stream And float my soul away from here The darkness wars will bring The sad songs you shall sing ♪ Don't fool yourself 'cause this day comes Has come, but you don't care Don't say I didn't warn you all That you were not aware And life just isn't fair ♪ What will it take before you see? The sight of losing me And then the truth shall be your sword The sword shall set you free In pieces, you shall be ♪ But these are just words A song that I sing So go back to sleep It's sleep that I bring Just go back to sleep It's sleep that I bring
