Moment of Silence - Montevey

A Moment of Silence In attesa che i muti cantino E che i cantanti tacciano E gli alleati sbarchino Nel giorno del D-Day In attesa che Martin Luther King Dica al mondo "I have a dream" Che un meteorite illumini Queste facce arrese Che Copernico tolga il mondo Dal centro dell'universo E che ci risuoni attorno la musica Dei mortai Aspettando che l'uomo faccia Sulla Luna il suo primo passo Vogliate osservare adesso A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence In attesa che i tempi cambino E che gli Dei ritornino E che si scopra l'atomo E si viva in un talent show Aspettando che Freud teorizzi l'ES Venga al mondo Socrate E che i roghi splendano Sulle facce accese E che Atlantide vada a fondo E che Ulisse ritorni presto Marco Polo ci sveli il mondo Sulla strada per il Katai L'aborigeno e il lungo sonno In cui sogna l'Universo Vogliate osservare adesso A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence Tutto inizia ora Niente è nato ancora Non esiste il tempo, il mio silenzio La tua parola Prima della luce D'ogni guerra e pace Immaginazione, rivoluzione, Sottovoce A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence A moment of silence

A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves The cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing I never met a loser that I did see eye to eye with, I declare I stare into your eyes But you look right past me into the air What's it like to stand in your shoes? To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse? I take the bottle and I tip it to all my heroes that have passed Alas, you have left us but your stories they will last Uninspired by the recruiting call Independent we stand Independent we fall So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call you bluff and watch you fall? I don't know but I'd like to think I had control At some point but I let it go and lost my soul Sit tight but the revolution's years away I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite Oh! to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last! Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed Oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from And everybody's laughing loud Your last chance to make your mother and father proud Oh, oh, oh... A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves The cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing They said "a pox Upon your house Upon your family and everyone you ever knew And everyone you'll ever meet" I bet they think we wish we joined when we could But we do what we want we don't do what we should Now everybody's laughing Because they're thinking they in on something I don't get Don't forget I connect and I read every word you said Like a child who believes he was wronged If you hate me so much then stop singing my songs So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call you bluff and watch you fall? I don't know but I'd like to think I had control At some point but I let it go and lost my soul Sit tight but the revolution's years away I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite Oh! to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last! Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed Oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from And everybody's laughing loud Your last chance to make your mother and father proud Oh, oh, oh...

When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody All reason flown as God looks on in abject apathy A squall and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me When the meaning is gone There is clarity And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me And it's easy done Our little remedy And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me What yields the need for those who lead us, oh, so morally Those that would view the same we do through their deformity Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority This moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me Since it all begun To it's reckoning There the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me Be thankful some know it lovingly There the reason comes in the common tongue of your loving me, ooh Like a heathen clung to the homily Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me So summon on the pearl rosary Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me
