Lyrics

Silent World

Dusty streets on misty dew

Mounds of metal rusted through

Crumbling buildings, plaster and stone

No one here to echo on

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

Shutters creak and windows gape

Weeds grow on their wild estate

Computerized world has fallen down

Yet another empty town

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

Nothing moves and nothing stares

Everyone's dead, whoever cared

It's no use crying or talking now

Someone somewhere pressed the button

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

It's a silent world

Someone somewhere pressed the button
