Cold was the day that they came for you 
 The November sky was a hue 
 Of a lense we often look through 
    Two riders drive to the edge of the field 
 Where you played with what they thought was real 
 Waving of pistols pointing at you   
 This silence is violent 
 This silence is violent   
 No chance to explain no chance to say 
 The reason your body would break 
 And paint the snow bright red   
 Oh what a horror the empty arms 
 Of a mother’s heart that burns 
 To hold her boy once again   
 This silence is violent 
 This silence is violent   
 I pulled the trigger I held the gun 
 The smoking barrel of indifference 
 I pulled the trigger I held the gun   
 When I’m silent it’s violent 
 When I’m silent it’s violent 
 When I’m silent it’s violent   
 When I’m silent it’s just as violent 
 When I’m silent it’s just as violent 
 When I’m silent it’s just as violent
