Time & Silence (Variations) Video (MV)

Time like a carpenter
Has measured out his line
Tell me the distance of
This steep
Incline

Silence is the anvil
On which foolish thoughts
Are struck
Think now and tell me if
Love's fate
Or dumb luck

Said Love

All I have is lost
Or new
So far
So good
So why
Can't I
Believe?
I should

I heard her saying

Time is a holy child
My blessings on its head
Silent and motionless
The weak lamb
Born dead

Silence is a heretic
Her tongue cut from her mouth
I sing her apostasy
My tongue
Her doubts

Said Love

All I've done is wait
For you
So far
No word
So why
Do I
Think faith's
Absurd?

I heard her saying

Time like a dying man
Has closed his eyes and gone
You are all I have
For my mind
To work on

Silence is the crumbling earth
That falls upon his head
All I have left to me
The promise
You made

Said Love
