Overhead - Aftermath

Now the moon is down
the stars are out
the sun has almost left me
Moving up and out to the sound
...to the sound of silence

As the world gets darker
moving lost souls out to sea
Do you believe we would cast it down to the ground
...but the ground wasn't all we...

In the cooling crust
in the falling dust
in the aftermath of the fire
Calling out to us it's the sound ... the sound of silence

The earth will quieten
satellites fall to the sea
Do you believe we would cast it down to the ground
but the ground wasn't all we...

found there, lost and bewildered
Not too aware
Locked in despair
One day, when all things must end
I wish you could stay
light-years away

After all is lost, any knowledge not written on a rock is devoured
And still unknown to us is the sound, it's the sound of silence
Skies testify to past laughter, who is laughing now indeed
Do you believe
we would cast it down to the ground
but the ground wasn't all we found there

Confess before the end is done
Who decides? what are promises?
Our promise is the water in the waves where he lay

I've found where to weather the storm
Who am I? Am I waiting?
Am I weighed in the waters in the waves where he lay
Waiting!

In the end it's not what was said or not
What was done was what had the power
To dictate to us the sound ... the sound of silence
