Lyrics
I talk to my muse, but he resists,
he tells me only silence exists,
the drunk and battered on the street,
the starving masses in the heat,
they understand, life’s full of lies,
don’t believe that nobody dies,
everybody dies,
no God in Heaven
no Devil in Hell,
nothing exists but the silence of the wind.
Face down in a pool of beer,
the apocalypse is almost here,
too much chaos in my brain,
on my lung is a blood red stain,
I understand life’s almost done,
don’t believe, try to understand,
understand my son,
no God in Heaven
no Devil in Hell,
nothing exists but the silence of the wind.
My muse passes away silently,
no one shouts or cries,
no one cares
that my muse is dead,
no one cares
about the things he said,
my muse
my muse,
I talk to my muse,
and I can hear him
shouting in the wind.
I understand, life’s full of lies,
don’t believe that nobody dies,
everybody dies,
no God in Heaven
no Devil in Hell.
