Thus Sayeth the Mute

lyrics by: Britton Newton

Angel, are you hovering above? 

Demon streets will try at you 

Give up the gun

Are you listening, enough? 

I dare you now – give it up

Can it be, my friend,

that all of this past is gaining on us?

Even the dogs will run, in fear of the Sun 

Can you hold the tongue of a lion

in a royal flush?

Are you listening?

Are you having fun?

I dare you now – dry in the sun

Can it be, my friend,

that all of this past is gaining on us?

I keep my eyes peeled, waiting for the Sun

The Silent wept 

Ears are through 

Stories told delude

Now, a soldier prays as nations fight 

Will faith absolve his darling bride?

The River is wide

Thus sayeth the Mute,

“The dead will walk the earth like a newborn flame”

Say hello to this new world

Can it be, my friend,

that all of this past is gaining on us?

Who do you Sing for when your doors are shut?

I keep my eyes peeled, waiting for the Sun
