[Verse 1]
If all the birds have cursed the sky
A flaming fortress, hunting prey
A feathered bird deflowered dies
The flowers die
My knife has turned on life itself
My skin is bathed in poison rain
A room right on an empty shelf
Empty shelf
[Chorus]
All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched the silent spring
Silent spring
[Verse 2]
The hovering of every breath
A legacy of decay infests
Just let me imagine Mother Earth
Mother Earth
[Chorus]
All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched the silent spring
Silent spring
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched the silent spring
Silent spring
[Post-Chorus]
Silent spring (Silent spring)
Silent spring (Silent spring)
Silent spring (Silent spring)
Silent spring (Silent spring)
Silent spring
Silent spring
[Instrumental Outro]
