Roaring Silent

Steve Skaith

Text

Close my eyes tonight at the newsstands
Held my breath on the train
Blast kills in Ireland
Chills the soul again
Photofit ??? says it’s just another crazy dream
Good here, bad there, nothing in between

On our screens is terrace rows
Country lanes that look like ???
Never shown who is shooting at the rest of us
In the darkness, we don’t try to look at Belfast truth and lies
Tommy is just a boy, and he is the best of us

Someone died tonight, and it burns into our reason
And blinds us with its light
Oh, wish it could be simple
Much easy wrong and right
But there’s a history
In yesterday, roaring silent

No answers, dry the tears, none dare is dead
But all the years, I can’t show you all
I hope you’ll smile on me
But the call for peace is just a threat
Something we can’t soon forget if we believe
We’ll hold on all the rights to us

Someone died tonight, and it burns into our reason
And blinds us with its light
Oh, wish it could be simple
Much easy wrong and right
But there’s a history
In yesterday, roaring silent

No answers, dry the tears, none dare is dead
But all the years, I can’t show you all
I hope you’ll smile at me
But the call for peace is just a threat
Something we can’t soon forget if we believe
We’ll hold on all the rights to

Someone died tonight, and it burns into our reason
And blinds us with its light
Oh, wish it could be simple
Much easy wrong and right
But there’s a history
In yesterday, roaring silent

In the top row and ???
In the newsroom and cry
Speech is ready and it’s very terror tonight
I know I live my life to save part conscience cry
But I can’t hear the horror and forget the ??? pride

Someone died tonight, and it burns into our reason
And blinds us with its light
Oh, wish it could be simple
Much easy wrong and right
But there’s a history
In yesterday, roaring silent

A history
In a yesterday
Roaring silence
