In Silence, We Rot by Obituary Pending
In Silence, We Rot
Intro
Shadows crawl where the light once shone,
Whispers die in the undertone.
No hand to hold, no voice to call,
In silence, we rot, we wither, we fall.
Verse 1
We built our cages with our own hands,
Marionettes in forsaken lands.
The walls close in, the air grows thin,
The rot begins beneath the skin.
Eyes that stare but cannot see,
Souls imprisoned by memory.
Every heartbeat drags us down,
Every whisper a hollow sound.
Pre-Chorus
The world moves on, but we decay,
Flesh and spirit fade away.
No cries, no screams, no one to blame,
In silence, we rot, and none remain.
Chorus
In silence, we rot, forgotten and cold,
The stories untold, the lies we hold.
The walls of our minds are crumbling fast,
Shadows of futures, remnants of past.
We breathe in the decay, we drown in the night,
No one to save us, no wrong, no right.
In silence, we rot, in silence, we fall,
The world turns deaf to our silent call.
Verse 2
The clocks tick loud in abandoned halls,
Time corrodes as the last light falls.
We speak in tongues of ash and rust,
Everything we touch returns to dust.
Faces fade in the mirrors’ glare,
Fingers claw at empty air.
We are the remnants, the hollow, the lost,
Paying the eternal, unseen cost.
Pre-Chorus 2
The world moves on, but we decay,
Flesh and spirit fade away.
No cries, no screams, no one to blame,
In silence, we rot, and none remain.
Chorus
In silence, we rot, forgotten and cold,
The stories untold, the lies we hold.
The walls of our minds are crumbling fast,
Shadows of futures, remnants of past.
We breathe in the decay, we drown in the night,
No one to save us, no wrong, no right.
In silence, we rot, in silence, we fall,
The world turns deaf to our silent call.
Bridge
We crawl through graves of yesterday,
Every memory a sharpened blade.
The earth reclaims what we cannot save,
Every hope buried in the cave.
(Growls)
No light, no mercy, no end in sight,
We feed on despair in the endless night.
The silence screams, the shadows plot,
Forever condemned… in silence, we rot.
[Breakdown]
Rattle the bones, tear the skin,
The rot begins from deep within.
Suffocating in hollow rooms,
Breathing decay, embraced by tombs.
The world moves on, but we remain,
A testament to eternal pain.
Verse 3
No prayers, no chants, no bells, no flame,
All that is left bears only blame.
We are the echoes of lives once lived,
The hollowed, the broken, nothing to give.
The silence feeds, the silence grows,
A river of decay no one knows.
Our bodies crumble, our spirits shot,
Eternally cursed… in silence, we rot.
Pre-Chorus 3
The world moves on, but we decay,
Flesh and spirit fade away.
No cries, no screams, no one to blame,
In silence, we rot, and none remain.
Chorus (Final)
In silence, we rot, forgotten and cold,
The stories untold, the lies we hold.
The walls of our minds are crumbling fast,
Shadows of futures, remnants of past.
We breathe in the decay, we drown in the night,
No one to save us, no wrong, no right.
In silence, we rot, in silence, we fall,
The world turns deaf to our silent call.
Outro
No one remembers, no one cares,
No light remains, only despair.
The world moves on, but we remain caught,
Forever condemned… in silence, we rot.
