The Great White Silence Lyrics
The cruel great white silence
Crawls in from the dark
Crushes your soul
Cripples your heart
And it's gone

That ends the affair
It deadens the senses
Freezes the air
And it's gone
Of all life's illusions
Regret is the one
That tortures and haunts
Each deed that is done
And it's gone
No light in the distance
To call from afar
Extinguished, forgotten
Remains as a scar
And it's gone
The cruel great white silence
Crawls in from the dark
Crushing your soul
Crippling your heart
And it's gone
