Silence Is Deafening

[Verse 1]
Rant (rant) long and loud
Repeat 'til you're blue in the face
Ever (ever) get the feeling you're always on a losing streak?

[Chorus]
Their silence is deafening
From the havens of thieves and kings

[Verse 2]
Empower (empower) those who serve to deflect suspicious minds
Action (action) and answers as likely as a reversal of time

[Chorus]
Their silence is deafening
From the retreats of tamed apologists
Their disdain is crippling
For those whose crises they have fixed

[Bridge]
I am your "untermensch"
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off

Yet when it's you who's in their debt
The strong-arm brings you to your knees
So much for progressive authority
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off

Power for the powerless, well, where?
Screaming at the wall to make more sense

[Pre-breakdown]
I melt back into indifference

[Breakdown]
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
