When silence fell
Over the earth
The war has ended
But what's it worth
When silence fell
Over the day
The living colours
Were torn away
When silence fell
Over the night
The difference compared to day
Was nor the light
When silence fell
Over mankind
Forgotten is
What's left behind
What is silence like
When there's no one left to hear it
Armageddon's bound to happen
Yet no one's prepared to fear it
No one has made the difference
No one has made the change
Now smoke is rising
From our smouldering remains
When silence fell
On life itself
Even God is
put on a shelf
When silence falls
On you tonight
Then you think of how
To make this right
