the street of silence

On the street of silence

The wind slowly breathing through

The night insects flying around the light

The sacrifices they bow and die

They don't ask why

They know the time has come

The noble gift to the light

They flutter slowly dropping dead

On the street of silence

The stray dogs watching

Eyes full of hope

But they know there is no food

They gather under the light

Waiting for a good Samaritan

The night will be long

On the street of silence

The houses on both side street

Light showing on the balconies

It is the silence greeting the night

On the street of silence

The bright moon in the sky

Shining her light every where

The shadows in the back alley

It is still the silence

On the street of silence

The wind slowly breathing through

The bright moon in the sky

Shining her light every where
