"Can You Hear The Silence?" lyrics

Can you hear the silence
Right above the trees?
Every 15 minutes
There used to be
A strong wind blowing
A violent breeze
People were gods flying on silver wings

Can you hear the silence
Just beneath the moon?
Our conversations uninterrupted
By a potential sonic-boom
We now speak in whispers
Unafraid of what might loom

Can you hear the silence?
Can you hear the silence?
Can you hear?

Metal bird back into the cage you go
Metal bird we beg you don't invade our home
Metal bird your time was grand but now it's gone
Silence
Silence
Silence

Can you hear the silence
Throughout the neighborhood?
Not a single siren
Peace reigns as it should
Just you and me for once being good
Passing time, saving cash
Like our mothers knew we could

Can you hear the silence?
Can you hear the silence?
Can you hear?

Metal bird back into the cage you go
Metal bird your time was grand but now it's gone
Metal bird we beg you don't invade our home
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
